Early labor is the longest part, lasting eight to 10 hours. In this phase, the cervix opens from 0 to 3 cm. Contractions are mild and between five and 20 minutes apart. You may feel excited and relieved during this part of your labor.
The third stage of labor begins after the baby is born and ends when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus and is passed through the vagina. This stage is often called delivery of the afterbirth and is the shortest stage of labor. It may last from a few minutes to 20 minutes. You will feel contractions but they will be less painful. If you had an episiotomy or small tear, it will be stitched during this stage of labor.
