During a first-time birth, a first labor lasts 16 hours on average, however, this can vary tremendously. Labor can be divided into three stages. Stage one, where the cervix dilates, is subdivided into three phases, early, active and transition.
The normal limits of the human gestation period are from 37 weeks (259 days) to 42 weeks (293 days); days and weeks are counted as completed days and weeks. If one counts from the moment of conception, the length of time is 266 days (280â14 days). gestation time of less than 37 weeks is regarded as premature; one that continues beyond 42 weeks is considered postmature, regardless of the size of the fetus or other factors.
