Did Mary suffer during child birth?

[erik_none]

Does the verse in Revelation about Marys labor pains show she had pain during birth? Or is it a figurative choice of words for the suffering she felt with her Son? Is there a definitive teaching by the Church or is it up to us to assess the truth behind this?
