What are the Stages of Labor?

Labor is a body’s natural process of giving birth to a child and it lasts on an average of about twelve to twenty-four hours during the first childbirth. Generally, labor is shorter for births after the first childbirth. Labor occurs in three stages. The first stage begins when one starts experiencing  steady contractions when a woman is ready to birth the child. This stage includes a latent or early phase when contractions are not too strong and the cervix starts to change to enable the baby to come through. Then comes the active phase, when the contractions are quite strong and work happens to prepare the woman’s body to deliver the child. This phase is followed by a transitional phase when a woman begins feeling the need to push. The second stage of labor is the actual birth of the child and the third stage is the delivery of the placenta. Our content is designed with all the labor and childbirth tips that will help you through each and every stage of your labor.
