Meaning of the word "labor"
I have some doubts about the translation, specifically about the English word "labor" (see the second line of the paragraph in English), which is translated as "parto". Does it really mean "parto"? I have looked it up in the dictionary, but I have not found such meaning. Please, just focus on the meaning of the word labor, because the other words are known to me. Thanks.
Although gestational diabetes usually resolves once a woman gives birth, those with the condition are at greater risk for labor and birth complications, preeclampsia (a serious condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and high levels of protein) and developing diabetes later in life.
Aunque la diabetes gestacional por lo general se resuelve una vez una mujer da a luz, las que sufren de la afección están en mayor riesgo de complicaciones del parto y el nacimiento, preeclampsia (una afección grave en el embarazo que se caracteriza por hipertensión y niveles altos de proteína) y de desarrollar diabetes más adelante en la vida.

Yes, labor can be work-related or it can also be birth-related. U.S. English and England English spell labor/labour differently. Just an FYI (for your information).

Yes it means parto. Going into labor means starting the birth process.
In this sense,it means "parto". To go into labour-ponerse de parto. To be in labour-estar de parto. Americans spell labour without the letter "U".
Latin parturitio > parturition, Sp. parto. English "labor" = parturition, or an aspect of it.
Es a lo que se llama "el trabajo de parto". No sé si es un calco del inglés o así se le ha llamado siempre. Ya no me acuerdo.
The word labor is also a Spanish word, and has nothing to do with giving birth. Maybe you looked it ( Labor ) up in Spanish, Instead of English ,and therefore could not find the meaning. BTW.one of the meanings of parto is romper ( break ) when a woman's water breaks she is considered in labor ( parto ).

The English is total Slop.
"Imagine to yourself a little squat, uncourtly figure of a Doctor Slop, of about four feet and a half perpendicular height, with a breadth of back, and a sesquipedality of belly, which might have done honour to a serjeant in the horse-guards. Such were the out-lines of Dr. Slop's figure, which—if you have read Hogarth's analysis of beauty, and if you have not, I wish you would;—you must know, may as certainly be caricatured, and conveyed to the mind by three strokes as three hundred...."

Merely by the way, the English is very crudely written.
A: So how much am I a risk for if the market goes south tomorrow?
B: Give or take $100, 000.
A: Hmm. At risk of losing $100, 000?
B. Yep.
A proposito:
"at risk for" =/= "at risk of".
