Is doubled over

Hi,
What does 'be doubled over' mean here?
'She was brought to the hospital and was doubled over in pain. She feared that something was wrong with her baby.'

Thanks.

Hi, Bending forward a lot. Almost like the position you are in when you try to touch your toes. Usually with both arms folded across your stomach, where the pain is.
