분만은 얼마나 걸릴까
첫 출산과 이후 출산의 잠복기, 활동기, 힘주기, 태반이 나오기까지의 보통 길이를 NICE 수치로 보여줘요. 예측이 아니라 정직한 범위예요.
How long does a first labor usually take?
Active labor takes about 8 hours on average and rarely longer than 18 hours (NICE). Early labor comes before that and can last much longer. Pushing usually takes up to 3 hours.
Is a second labor faster?
Often. After a previous birth, active labor takes about 5 hours on average and rarely longer than 12. Pushing usually takes up to 2 hours.
How long does early labor last?
It has no set length. It can stop and start for hours, sometimes a day or two, especially with a first baby.
How long can you push for?
With a first baby, the baby is usually born within 3 hours of the cervix being fully open. After a previous birth, within 2 hours (NICE).
Does an epidural make labor longer?
It can make pushing take longer. NICE suggests waiting at least an hour after the cervix is fully open before pushing, unless you feel the urge or your baby's head can be seen.
How long does it take to deliver the placenta?
About 30 minutes with an injection to help it come away, and up to an hour if you wait for it to come naturally.
When does active labor start?
When contractions are regular and strong and the cervix is open to about 4 cm.
Can this tell me how long my labor will be?
No. It shows averages and upper limits from national guidance. Your midwife will tell you how your labor is going.
Is my data saved?
No. Nothing is stored or sent.
