Why do I do this to myself?

So, the problem with deciding to have a character get pregnant in a story that lasts many months? At some point, she has to actually have the baby. Gah.

I don't know how to write someone giving birth, from any perspective.

I'm pretty sure I can't just say "oh, she had the baby!" at some point.

And then, of course, this leaves me with the fact that I have a baby on a secret military base hidden on an alien planet.

*headdesk repeatedly*

Any thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?
