Wow, that is like asking "How long is a piece of string?". Labour and delivery is sectioned into 3 stages. 1st stage is from when the cervix is 3cm dilated until it is 10cm or fully dilated. This can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours. 2nd stage is the 'pushing' stage, and that usually lasts from less than 5 min for a woman who has had children before, to 2 hours for a first time Mum. Third stage is the delivery of the placenta, and that usually happens 15 min after the delivery of the baby.
Don't know if this helps at all. Just ask if you would like further details on anything.

That depends entirely on the baby, whether mom has had a baby before, etc. 24 hours is pretty good guess for a first baby.
