Question

What is labour pain, how and when does it occur?

Answer 1

• Parturition is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism.
• Vigorous contraction of the uterus at the end of pregnancy causes expulsion of fetus leading to labour pain.
• Labour pain occurs before parturition.
  
• It occurs due to the contraction of muscles.
• The mechanism is the wave-like movement from the top of the uterus to the bottom.
