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.
The likelihood is that your contractions will start within 24 hours to 48 hours of your waters breaking. At least 60 per cent of women go into labour within 24 hours (NCCWCH 2014, Pintucci et al 2014) and most of the rest go into labour within 48 hours (Pintucci et al 2014).
