(6) A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. (7) Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. (8) Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
In other words, Zion no sooner got the point where there should have been in travail than she already gave birth.
The curse-free birth is salvation the day of the cross.

i will agree that there is a reflection in this, but it sure strikes me as overstretching "women may be saved in childbirth" to the breaking point. And again, that is not the only example, anyway.
