Summary: Pregnancy is the carrying of one or more offspring, known as a fetus or embryo, inside the uterus of a female human. In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations, as in the case of twins or triplets. Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies. Obstetrics is the medical field that studies and treats pregnant patients. Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks from fertilization, approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last menstruation. Thus, pregnancy lasts about nine months.

The most difficult part of most pregnancies is giving birth to your child. Labor pains are notoriously difficult for women and thus have led to the development of many coping techniques. In this free video series on pain control during labor, an expert labor educator will teach you about a variety of labor pain relief techniques. You will learn how to use meditation, pain substitution and massage to cope with contractions and labor pain. You will also learn about using visualization, warm baths and deep breathing during labor.
