Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The first stage of labor is considered to last from the onset of regular uterine
contractions to full dilation of the cervix. The first stage is much longer than the
second and third stages combined. In a first pregnancy, the first stage of labor
can take up to 20 hours.
B The second stage of labor lasts from the time the cervix is fully dilated to the
birth of the fetus. The average length is 20 minutes for a multiparous woman and
50 minutes for a nulliparous woman.
C The third stage of labor lasts from the birth of the fetus until the placenta is
delivered. This stage may be as short as 3 minutes or as long as 1 hour.
D The fourth stage of labor, recovery, lasts about 2 hours after delivery of the
placenta.
