How long does a natural birth take?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, the first stage of labor for primiparas lasts about 11-12 hours, while multiparas require about 6-8 hours. The second stage of labor (from full cervical dilation to fetal delivery) for primiparas typically takes about 1-2 hours, while multiparas usually complete it within 1 hour. The third stage of labor (from fetal delivery to placental delivery) takes about 5-15 minutes, not exceeding 30 minutes.
