Your contractions will last from the beginning of labor until the baby is born. The average length of labor and contractions is approximately eight to 14 hours. How long do contractions last, is answered differently with each pregnancy. With your second and third pregnancies, labor and contractions may not last as long.
Active labor: Often lasts up to 8 hours on average. For some women, active labor may be even longer while it may be much shorter for others (especially those who've had a previous vaginal delivery). Longer labors including both early and active labors: Reported averages are at just over 17 hours.
