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.
During the second stage of labor, contractions are about 90 seconds long and 2-5 min apart. This stage can last about an hour or two in first time moms, many times less. For subsequent births, the pushing stage usually lasts less than an hour.
