Although recent research has focused on cesarean births, less attention has been given to the role those factors play in perceived control during vaginal births. These gaps are particularly critical for Latinas, who experience health care intrapartum disparities in the United States. This study addresses these gaps by examining how prenatal depression symptoms, history of pregnancy loss, and pain severity are related to perceived control during labor among Latinas birthing vaginally. The findings may inform intrapartum care for a patient population at increased risk of health care inequities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This secondary data analysis included 119 self\u2010identified Latina women who had a vaginal childbirth in North Carolina.
