During a first-time birth, a first labor lasts 16 hours on average, however, this can vary tremendously. Labor can be divided into three stages. Stage one, where the cervix dilates, is subdivided into three phases, early, active and transition.
Here's what I found in the survey. Considering only births resulting from spontaneous labor: 1  The average first time mom had her baby at 39W,5D. 54.9% of first time moms delivered their babies on or before their due date. 2  This is based on 5079 first time moms who filled out the survey.
