Labor is a physiologic process during which the fetus, membranes, umbilical cord, and placenta are expelled from the uterus.

STAGES OF LABOR

First: from the onset of labour to full dilatation (commonly lasts 8-12 hours in a first labour, 3-8 hours in subsequent labours)

Second: from full dilatation of the cervix to delivery of the baby (commonly lasts 1-2 hours in a first labour, 0.5-1 hour in subsequent labours)

Third: from delivery of the baby to the delivery of the placenta (commonly lasts up to an hour if physiological, 5-15 minutes if actively managed)
