Your labour will be described as precipitate if your baby is born within three hours of your contractions starting (NCCWCH 2008, Sheiner et al 2004).

Rapid labor, also called precipitous labor, is characterized by labor that can last as little as 3 hours and is typically less than 5 hours. There are several factors that can impact your potential for a rapid labor including: A particularly efficient uterus which contracts with great strength.
