'Pains' in the Bible

For this reason my loins are full of anguish;Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor.I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
As a pregnant woman about to give birthwrithes and cries out in her pains,so we were before You, Lord.

He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,and He carried our pains;but we in turn regarded Him stricken,struck down by God, and afflicted.
"Before she goes into labor she gives birth; before her pains come upon her she has delivered a son.
When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away.
