This is typically the longest part of labor. For most first-time moms, the first stage of labor will last for around ten to fourteen hours. The First stage is broken up further into three phases. During the early phase, contractions are very light and are 20 minutes or more apart, becoming closer to 5 minutes apart. The active phase is next.
No one can accurately predict how long it will take to induce your labor, or how long the labor will take once it starts. Sometimes it takes just a few hours. However, if the cervix is unripe (hard, long and closed) it takes many hours or even a whole day or multiple days for an induction to work. Just like natural labor, induction takes longer for women when it is their first baby. If labor does not occur on the first day, you may be sent home. You and your clinician will decide if you need to return another day for another attempt, or wait for natural labor.
