Why is it so painful to give birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: Gravid (pregnant) uterus causes lower back pain. Your fetus's head pressing on your cervical and vaginal wall can cause pelvic pain, vaginal pain. Also your fetus's body dilating your cervix and vagina results in severe pain.
