'Childbirth' in the Bible

but all these miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.

My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you.

For it is written, "Rejoice, you childless woman, who cannot give birth to any children! Break into song and shout, you who feel no pains of childbirth! For the children of the deserted woman are more numerous than the children of the woman who has a husband."

But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth.
