Children

Why this is the answer

The source's answer here loosely evokes labor pains -- moaning, restless contractions that chase toward a final moment -- ending in the arrival of children; it's a weaker, more figurative fit than most riddles in this set.

This riddle is filed under "What Am I?" Riddles and rated Hard.
