Preoperative analgesia is where the pain is

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The causes of labor pains include: contractions of the uterus, the fetus extending and pressing on the birth canal, pelvic nerves, and bones being compressed by the fetus. Labor pains before delivery are due to uterine contractions that help expel the fetus, manifesting as symptoms such as abdominal pain or lower back pain.
