Since the ro-Magnon period,
childbirth has been subject to
superstition. While no one today
believes that a reindeer jumping

woman hastens difficult labor.
there are still many misconoep-

child bearing.
Pain IN childbirth has given
rise to most of the myths. Cur

it naturally" and entirely pain

Neither concept is completely
true. Recent studies published in

that there is no definite relation

labor contraction and the actual
pain experienced. Pain varies
