Interstitial cystitis is a condition that causes pain in the bladder or pelvic area, and frequent urination. An intracranial hematoma occurs after a head injury and causes headache, drowsiness, confusion, and more. Valley fever is a fungal infection that starts in the lungs and causes mild flu-like symptoms.
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.
If this is your first labor, you can probably wait until your contractions are about five minutes apart to call the doctor. But be sure to go over this as your due date approaches, as she may have a different protocol. If this isn't your first labor, call your doctor when your contractions are 10 to 15 minutes apart.
