The dilation stage is the longest stage of labor which can last from several hours to up to 20 hours or more, depending on the individual. This stage involves the gradual opening of the cervix to around 10 centimeters, allowing the baby to pass through. The other two stages, expulsion and placental, are relatively shorter in duration.
