A woman who is "in labor" is experiencing the pains that lead up to the birth of her child. These are called "labor pains."

|
|
* The apostle Paul used this term figuratively to describe the process by which Christ's character is created or "birthed" in believers.

|
* The analogy of labor pains is also used to describe how in the end times, disasters will happen with increasing frequency and intensity.
