Hur lång blir förlossningen? (latensfas, aktiv fas, krystning)
Välj första eller senare förlossning och hur snabbt du tror att det går för att se ungefärliga timmar för latensfas, aktiv fas och krystning, plus kortaste och längsta totala tid. Endast ett planeringsverktyg, inte medicinska råd.
What is this labor length estimator for?
It is a **rough planning tool** so you can picture early, active and pushing phases and total time for a first or later birth. It is not a prediction engine.
Why does it ask if this is my first birth?
First births tend to have **longer early labor and longer pushing** on average. Later births often move faster. The tool changes the base ranges depending on your answer.
What does the “Slower” or “Faster” setting do?
It scales the base times up or down. Slower stretches early and active labor. Faster shortens them and nudges pushing time down slightly.
Does a “Could be as short as” result mean my labor will not be longer?
No. It just shows a **fast scenario** inside this model. Real labors can be shorter or longer than any of the numbers shown.
Can I use this to decide when to go to hospital?
No. Timing decisions should follow your **midwife, doctor or hospital** rules and your own situation. Use this tool only to think about packing, childcare and support.
