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.
Latent phase of labor is when contractions occur every five to seven minutes and last for 30 seconds. In the active phase, contractions should occur every two to three minutes. In the transition phase, contractions should occur every one and a half to two minutes. There is no second phase.
