How do Catholics explain the apparent inconsistency between Mary's not experiencing labor pain and Rev 12:1-6?

According to Catholicism: 1. **When Mary delivered Jesus from her womb, she labored without pain**; see Catholic Answers articles [Was Mary Free from Labor Pain?](https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/was-mary-free-from-labor-pain) and [Evidence for Mary's Painless Childbirth](https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/evidence-for-marys-painless-childbirth) . 2. **Mary is the Queen of Heaven according to Rev 12:1-6**; see Catholic Answers article [Is Mary the Woman in Revelation 12](https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/is-mary-the-woman-in-revelation-12) . Then how do Catholics explain Rev 12:1-6 which clearly refers to the birth of Jesus with the usual labor pain: > 1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 **She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth**. ... 5 **She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod.** And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.
