Coming soonLabor pain is an acute, complex nociceptive and emotional experience occurring in parturient individuals during active childbirth.
It arises predominantly from the reproductive and nervous systems as rhythmic myometrial contractions cause uterine muscle ischemia, mechanical cervical dilatation, and lower uterine segment effacement.
During the first stage of labor, this discomfort manifests primarily as visceral pain transmitted via sympathetic afferent fibers entering spinal segments T10 through L1.
As labor advances into the second stage, intense somatic pain develops secondary to mechanical distension and stretching of the pelvic floor, vaginal vault, and perineum, mediated by pudendal and sacral nerves traversing S2 through S4.
