1st stage
The first stage starts with the onset of true labor pain, and ends with full dilation of the cervix. Contractions usually last much longer in the second stage than in the first stage. The second stage commences at full dilation of the cervix, and ends with expulsion of the fetus. The third stage begins after expulsion of the fetus.
