HOW LONG DOES NORMAL DELIVERY TAKE?

Normal birth begins with regular and frequent (every 5-10 minutes) sensations of severe pain. When regular pain begins, the cervix is ​​closed. The period from the onset of the pains to the opening of the cervix, exactly 10 cm, is the first stage of birth.
Some time after the cervix is ​​fully opened, the birth of the baby takes place. The period from the full opening of the cervix to the birth of the baby is called the second stage of birth.
After the baby is born, the third stage of birth begins. Some time after the baby is born, the placenta, that is, the spouse of the baby, is separated, and the third stage of birth is finished with the separation of the placenta.
How long does the first phase of birth take?
The first stage of labor is divided into two as latent phase and active phase. The part until the cervix reaches approximately 3-4 cm clearance is called the latent phase, the next part is called the active phase. The laten phase lasts an average of 6-7 hours in first births and an average of 5 hours in subsequent births. The active phase lasts an average of 5 hours in the first pregnancies and 3 hours in the subsequent pregnancies.
In summary, the first phase of labor, that is, the time from the onset of labor pains to the full opening of the cervix, takes approximately 11 hours in the first pregnancies and 7 hours in the subsequent pregnancies.
Precipity delivery is called rapid delivery.
How long does the second phase of birth take?
The second phase of birth, that is, the period from full opening of the cervix to the birth of the baby, takes an average of 50 minutes in the first pregnancies, and an average of 20 minutes in the subsequent pregnancies.
How long does the third phase of labor take?
The third stage of birth, that is, the time until the placenta leaves after the baby's birth, is about 5 minutes. Normally, the placenta is removed within half an hour at the latest.
After the placenta is separated, the mother is examined and any bleeding is checked. If there is an episiotomy, sewing procedures are performed. These take about 10-20 minutes. Then the mother can get off the birth table and be taken to the follow-up room with the baby.
In summary:
Normal delivery lasts longer in the first pregnancies and takes shorter as the number of births increases. First births take about 10 hours, while subsequent births take 5-7 hours, sometimes shorter. In pregnant women undergoing epidural anesthesia, delivery time may increase for several hours because the cervix opens more slowly.
