In the first stage of labor, uterine contractions cause cervical dilation and push the fetus through the birth canal. Uterine contractions during labor cause pain, pain is caused by ischemia of the uterine muscles, pelvic floor muscles and perenium. The peak of pain occurs in the active phase where complete opening reaches 10 cm and lasts around 4-6 hours for primi para and 2-4 hours for multi para.
