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 average length of the active first stage of labour for a first baby is about eight hours (NCCWCH 2014) , but it could be shorter or longer. First babies generally take their time, but it's unlikely that the active first stage will be longer than 18 hours (NCCWCH 2014) .he pushing phase of labour (active second stage) shouldn't usually take more than three hours, or two hours if you've had a baby before (NCCWCH 2014) . Bear in mind that a quick labour isn't necessarily better either for you or your baby.
