What is the pain of giving birth equivalent to?

When you were ready to be born, your mother felt some aches around her belly. She knew what the aches meant. You were ready to be born! Her mother muscles were working to push you out.

The muscles kept working until, finally, your mother felt a pushing. The pushing got quicker and stronger. At last you probably were pushed out of her body – head first – through her vagina.

After you were born, your mother held you close. The cord that joined you to your mother was cut, because you did not need it anymore.

After a short visit with your mother, lots of new things may have happened to you. Nurses check newborn babies to make sure they are healthy. They weigh, measure, bathe, and dress new babies do. Most babies weigh about 3.4 kg when they are born. In a hospital, nurses put name tags on the wrists or ankles of newborn babies and sometimes put their fingerprints and footprints on paper.

When you were all checked over, you were handed back to your family.
