When your contractions get closer together, you are farther along in the delivery phase of labor. At the beginning, the tightening or painful part of the contraction will last approximately 30 to 45 seconds, near the end the pain will be longer. A true contraction is usually at least 30 seconds long.
Typically, it lasts around six to seven hours if it's your first labour, and finishes when you're 8-10cm dilated. Once active labour begins, contractions typically increase in frequency, length and intensity as the uterus boosts its efforts to open your cervix.
