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 average pregnancy is calculated at 40 weeks (or 280 days) from the start of your last menstrual period (LMP). Remember, babies rarely keep to an exact timetable, so a full-term pregnancy can be anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.
