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 labor, the duration of the contractions will start out short (25 to 35 seconds long) and ultimately get to 70 90 seconds long. With this progression from shorter contractions to longer contractions, a mother can figure out if this is real labor, or simply Braxton Hicks contractions. the contractions have a duration of 60 seconds and a frequency of 15 minutes. The intensity of the contractions also changes as labor progresses. Early labor contractions are often described as mild menstrual cramps.
