First Look Entertainment is bringing the Lindsay Lohan maternal farce 'Labor Pains' to Blu-ray in early August.

First Look will bring the film direct-to-Blu-ray on August 4, day-and-date with the standard DVD.

No word on tech and supplement specs as of yet, but we'll update this space when final details are confirmed.

There's still no word on tech or supplement specs, but we'll keep you posted.

Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $34.99.
