On average how long does human birth take?

Question

like...."2 hours to 27 hours" or whatever. from contractions to baby's birth.

Answer 1

There is a huge variety. I was born in 38 minutes, from the first contraction to the end. (my mom was lucky. ) My cousins birth took almost 72 hours. It all depends on the size of the baby, the size of the mother ( Big baby + small mother = hard birth), and how strong she is.

Answer 2

for a first baby the average is 12-14 hours. for subsequent the average is between 6-8. Although labour is different for every woman and the time can vary widely
