It is the most natural thing in the world - and what the female form has evolved to do. Millions of babies are born across the world each year, and yet for many women, the joy of discovering they are pregnant for the first time quickly gives way to fear of childbirth - and fear of the unknown. Everyone knows that childbirth hurts, but how bad will the pain get? How long will it go on for? Will the pain be constant? What happens in the delivery room and importantly, what pain relief is available? From going into labour, to delivering your baby and the aftermath, here leading experts reveal to MailOnline what really happens when your baby makes its appearance...

Dying father-of-four is denied life-saving cancer drug by the NHS in postcode lottery scandal that's outraged doctors
Khalid Younis, 43, from Birmingham, suffers from Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia and has become resistant to all drugs. He believes ponatinib would be his last hope of a cure but has been told his case is 'not exceptional' - despite the treatment being freely available in Scotland and Wales. He said: 'It seems crazy.

'People need to have faith': Woman with 24 per cent chance of survival claims to have cured her cancer drinking 91 juices per week, having FIVE coffee enemas a day, and using illegal 'black salve' treatment
Bli Bli mother-of-three, Corissa Macklin-Rice (pictured above), 43, claims to be clear of an aggressive form of breast cancer after choosing to forego traditional treatment in favour of a controversial 'natural' treatment plan. After a double mastectomy surgery, Ms Macklin-Rice became a plant-based vegan and started drinking 13 juices a day and doing five 45-minute-long coffee enemas. She also made her own black salve ointment to draw some recurrent cancerous lumps out of her skin - a cream that is illegal to buy and sell in Australia. Experts say there is no evidence to support her claims and suggest her decision to forego conventional treatment leaves her at greater risk of a recurrence later on.
The man with a watermelon-sized scrotum: 25-year-old with swelling weighing a STONE is now desperate for surgery to remove it
Tyrone Bowd, 25, from Willowbank, Australia, suffers from scrotal lymphedema - a condition that caused one of his testicles to become abnormally large (pictured left and right). In the past two years his scrotum has swelled from the size of a mango to the size of a watermelon. The enlarged testicle makes it difficult for Mr Bowd to walk, and he has been repeatedly hospitalised with a bacterial infection as a result of it. His mother, Tanya, is raising money to get her son treatment in California, USA, which will allow him to lead a normal life again. But the family, from Willowbank, Australia, is yet to reach the $100,000 (£64,888) needed for the travel and treatment. Mrs Bowd hopes the surgery will help her son lead a normal life again. She said: 'The scrotum is getting so big that he must be in a lot of pain. We just want Tyrone to get better. We want our Tyrone back.'

Kate Dixon, 18, from Watford, Hertfordshire (pictured left), has narcolepsy and has to schedule three half-an-hour naps during the day to prevent herself from spontaneously snoozing. She falls asleep in taxis on the way to nightclubs, in the staff room at work and on friends' shoulders when they meet up for coffee. Her friends, boyfriend and colleagues have built up a catalogue of photographs of her asleep (pictured right) in various locations and positions - including with crisps on her nose (inset). But luckily, Miss Dixon can see the funny side. She said: 'My friends and family are used to my condition, but I don't think they will ever get bored of taking sneaky photographs of me when I fall asleep in funny places'

A few days later she couldn't walk and was sent home from work. The following day she had a raging fever and was in agonising pain,and eventually went to hospital.

Tiny baby girl born just one week before the abortion limit is now thriving - despite doctors warning her parents she had a 1% chance of surviving and to 'let her go'
Sadie Cratchley, 20, and her husband Marc, 27, from Somerset were warned their unborn daughter had one per cent chance of surviving when she went into labour at 23 weeks. The couple said doctors asked if they wanted them to try and save her, warning she was unlikely to survive. But Mr and Mrs Cratchley refused to give up on their unborn baby girl. Tiny Kaci-Rose Cratchley was born at 23 weeks and weighed just 1lb 2oz - half the weight of a bag of sugar. Despite the odds, she is now a healthy eight-month-old, weighing 8olbs - the same as the average newborn. Mrs Cratchley said: 'To other parents that are faced with decisions like this. As horrible as it is you must fight for your baby and let them have the chance. Kaci-Rose has proved that it can go well.'

Man told he had 'wind' after gallbladder surgery was actually bleeding internally - and had two pints of blood in his stomach
Marc Cunliffe, 36, from Blackburn, Lancashire, began suffering agonising stomach pains following an a gallbladder operation (pictured right). But when he went to Royal Blackburn Hospital's A&E; he was told it was 'wind' and he should go home and get eight hours sleep. After a two-hour nap he went back to the hospital, only to discover he had two pints of blood in his stomach. He was rushed for 'life-saving' emergency surgery to drain the fluid. He has now launched a complaint with East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, fearing he could have died had he followed the hospital's advice (he is pictured, left). He said: 'The whole ordeal has left me having panic attacks and I am dreading going back to work - I've been in once and I had to be sent home in a car. It's really affected me.'
'Strangers said she looked pregnant': Two-year-old girl has a cancerous tumour the size of a soccer ball and weighing EIGHT KILOS in her swollen abdomen - and doctors says surgery is not an option
Rosannah Searle, two, from regional NSW, was diagnosed with stage three neuroblastoma at just three months old. The soccer ball sized tumour in her stomach (left) protruded and strangers would say she looked 'pregnant' and comment on her appetite. She has undergone eight rounds of chemotherapy and doctors say surgery isn't an option as it is too dangerous.
Computer simulation reveals how quickly infections spread through hospital wards- as study finds single rooms are safer
Researchers from Leeds University discovered hospital patients being cared for in single rooms have less chance of catching an infection than those in wards. By creating a new computer simulation of how infections spread, they calculated healthcare workers' hands are 20 per cent more likely to be contaminated in a four-bed ward, than in a single room. They hope the models will be used in future studies in order to help architects design hospitals that will reduce disease transmission, they said. They estimate that preventing the spread of infections, such as MRSA, could cut costs for the NHS.
Cancer survivor, 38, who posed for a photo shoot after her double mastectomy is branded 'SELFISH for being too positive'
Emma Kirke, 38, of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, was diagnosed with cancer in her right breast in September 2014 and was determined not to 'become a victim'. After undergoing a double mastectomy in February 2015, Mrs Kirke decided to pose for a photo shoot, as a way of helping herself and other post-mastectomy patients feel good about themselves (she is pictured in the shoot, right, centre and left). In the photographs she had only had one of the four procedures she would need to reconstruct her breasts. While staying strong and keeping positive helped her to cope with her treatment, some of her friends branded her selfish for not allowing herself - or others - to grieve. Mrs Kirke, of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, said: 'I didn't want to become a victim, or feel sorry for myself. A friend said I was being selfish at some points, because I wasn't allowing people to be upset. She found it difficult to be around me. But being negative wasn't going to help me get through it.'
Man with 'bionic penis' reveals he had an erection for TWO weeks after surgery - but says his new manhood has 'changed his life'
Mohammed Abad, 43, from Edinburgh (pictured right), lost his penis and testicle in a freak car accident when he was six. He ran into the road and was dragged for 600 yards by a car. Last month, he was fitted with a bionic penis, which contains two tubes which fill up using liquid from his stomach, allowing him to maintain an erection. It has a button in his testicles which he can press to pump it up, as well as another button which drains the penis after use, so it deflates (the pump is pictured, bottom right). Today, he gave a candid interview on ITV's This Morning, in which he that having the prosthetic penis has made a 'huge' psychological impact. He said it had 'totally changed' his life.
He also admitted he had an erection for two weeks following the surgery.
Couple have their entire wedding paid for by STRANGERS after groom is diagnosed with terminal cancer
Laura and Steven Monks, both 35 and from Hyde, Greater Manchester, left on their big day, tied the knot in a hotel ceremony - all paid for by the kindness of strangers. The couple, who were friends for ten years before they got together, put their wedding plans on hold and started saving up to buy a house, but last October the pair were left dumbfounded when Steven, pictured, bottom right, with his groomsmen, was diagnosed with stage three bowel and liver cancer. The kitchen fitter had an operation to remove his bowel and started chemotherapy straightaway, but in April this year doctors told the couple that Steven's condition is terminal.
The woman whose face was DEVOURED by cancer: Mother, 27, undergoes 39-hour surgery to remove 2kg tumour and rebuild the hole left in her face
Tambu Makinzi, 27, from South Africa, was diagnosed with the rare bone cancer chondrosarcoma four years ago. It devoured her nasal and upper jaw bone, leaving her months from death. But after travelling 6,000 miles to London, leaving her husband and daughter behind, Tambu was treated by Professor Iain Hutchison at Barts Hospital in London. After 39 hours in surgery a team of six specialists removed the tumour and using tissue from Tambu's ribs and back rebuilt her face. Speaking after her surgery, the mother-of-one said: 'It's a long process, I'm not 100 per cent but I am getting there. 'If it wasn't for Pearl, I don't think I would have fought as hard as I have. I told myself I have to do this for my daughter.'
