Other pregnant women also believe that changes in barometric pressure affects the amount of pain that they feel during labor. Along with this, there is also some evidence that supports the idea that sudden changes in this pressure can actually induce premature labor.

Studies in the early 80s have also shown that women seem to have a significant increase in complications when they have changes to their barometric pressure. The most common times for this pressure to chance and affect labor is towards the end of the pregnancy.

Along with causing issues with the pregnancy, changes to the barometric pressure can also increase the danger that the mother is in when she goes into labor. It can affect the nervous system, which can affect the body’s ability to control heart and respiration rate.

Another issue that can be found during the delivery process is the way that the joints are affected by barometric pressure changes. This could cause a great deal of additional pain or even new pain when a woman is giving birth.
