  1. *P < 0.05 vs. before analgesia; # P < 0.05 vs. group A at the same time point; & P < 0.05 vs. Group B at the same time point. Group A, 0.075% ropivacaine + 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil; Group B, 0.10% ropivacaine + 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil; Group C, 0.125% ropivacaine + 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil. T0 before analgesia; T1 10 min after analgesia, T2 30 min after analgesia, T3 1 h after analgesia, T4 2 h after analgesia, T5 the cervix full-dilated time, T6 the time of fetal delivery
