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.
The interval of gestation period in humans is estimated to be around 40 weeks or 280 days. Gestation period in humans may normally last from 37 to 42 weeks or between 259 and 294 days. That means that in average pregnancy the birth occurs during this period of time. This is considered to be healthy pregnancy.
