Pain in childbirth is a rresult of Original Sin. Mary was free from Original Sin, ergo, no pain in childbirth
I don't necessarily dispute that, although I think there was more to the pain of bringing forth chidren as foretold in Genesis. If it was just the pain of childbirth then the advent of epidurals would seem to indicate that we have moved on from that consequence of sin. While we're at it, please remember my SIL and my godson who will be making his first appearance tomorrow. Speaking of childbirth and all that. Great gift from St. Nick.
