    “Pain during labor is caused by contractions of the muscles of the uterus and by pressure on the cervix. This pain can be felt as strong cramping in the abdomen, groin, and back, as well as an achy feeling.”

    https://kidshealth.org

    The muscles are fully capable of performing the action. The contractions and spasms are the pain, as your body prepares them for what they need to do.

    Besides, it’s not actually the uterus that needs to contract, it’s the cervix. And we have no way of knowing if elastagirl has manual control over her cervix. Most women don’t have control over their cervix, hence why these contractions have to happen for childbirth to take place. It could also be risky to the fetus to try to stretch enough to make that happen.

    Image Transcription:


    [Three identical stock photo images of a smiling man with crossed arms in a white labcoat are shown, with the one in the centre being normally sized, and the one on the right being shrunk down to a fraction of the size of the first, so the smaller one’s head is just below knee height of the larger. A third copy of the same stock photo has been added to the left of both of these men, enlarged to the point where everything save for his giant legs are outside of the frame. There is text above all three men, transcribed from left to right]
