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.
In general women expecting their first baby will take longer than women expecting a subsequent baby (though this does not always hold true). For a first baby, the average length of the first stage of labour is 12 to 14 hours, the second stage 1 to 2 hours and the third stage 5 to 60 minutes.Women expecting a subsequent baby can expect the first stage to last around 6 to 8 hours and the second stage lasting from 5 to 60 minutes.ach one starts gradually, builds to a peak and then fades away. Typically when labour begins contractions are short in length, around 20 to 30 seconds long. As labour progresses, contractions become gradually longer and stronger. Contractions need to be around 60 seconds long to dilate or open the cervix.
