For women having their first baby, an average first stage of labour usually lasts around 12 - 14 hours, but it can be many hours longer. This stage of labour for women having second or later babies averages about 7 hours. This is only a guide and you may find that your labour is shorter or longer than these times.
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.
