AIDS was first reported in the United States in 1981 and has since become a major worldwide epidemic. AIDS is the most advanced stage of infection caused by HIV. The names HIV and AIDS can be confusing because both terms describe the same disease. But most people who are HIV positive do not have AIDS.
The hospital usually class 'active' labour when you are 3 cms dilated, so if you were 4 cms then you will most likely be admitted onto the ward. I was around 5, had the kid 9 hours later! When I went in the hospital they put me straight to a bed! My water never broke either, they had to break it.
Once your cervix has dilated to 10cm, it could take you an hour or two hours of pushing before your baby is born. If you've had a baby before, your labour will probably be far quicker this time around. Active labour is likely to take about five hours, and is unlikely to last more than 12 hours. It may take up to an hour to push your baby out, but often only takes five minutes or 10 minutes. Your midwife will write down the length of your labour in your birth notes. This will probably refer to how long it took for your cervix to open from about 4cm to 10cm (4in). At 10cm, you are fully dilated and are ready to start pushing your baby out.
