Birth Pain Is Different from Other Pain

Kathryn finds a comfortable, effective position for pushing (illustration credit 3.1)

The women from The Farm know that birth usually hurts—at least the first time you do it—but they know it as a different kind of pain from the pain of injury. When you are injured and feel pain, its message is “Run away!” or “Fight! You are being damaged.” This is survival information. The pain of labor and birth has an entirely different message. It says: “Relax your pelvic muscles. Let go. Surrender. Go with the flow. Don’t fight this. It’s bigger than you.” This is far different from the message of “Protect yourself!” or “Run away!” that accompanies injury.
