Your contractions will last from the beginning of labor until the baby is born. The average length of labor and contractions is approximately eight to 14 hours. How long do contractions last, is answered differently with each pregnancy. With your second and third pregnancies, labor and contractions may not last as long.
The likelihood is that your contractions will start within 24 hours to 48 hours of your waters breaking. At least 60 per cent of women go into labour within 24 hours (NCCWCH 2014, Pintucci et al 2014) and most of the rest go into labour within 48 hours (Pintucci et al 2014).
