Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The first stage of labor lasts about eleven hours for firstborns and about seven hours for later-borns. Labor begins with brief, mild contractions occuring about ten to fifteen minutes apart. Contractions become increasingly frequent and begin to alter the shape of the cervix as preparation for the fetus's descent and entry into the narrow birth canal. Near the end of the first stage dilation of the cervix proceeds rapidly to allow passage through the birth canal.
