Before labour starts, your cervix is long and firm. During the first hours of labour, the muscles of the uterus (womb) contract and help shorten and soften the cervix, so that it can dilate (open).

For first-time mothers, this stage can last from six to 36 hours.

During this time you might experience:

Contractions - some can be quite mild, like a period pain; others can be sharp and strong. Initially, the contractions will be short (between 30 to 40 seconds) and irregular. Once contractions are five minutes apart and a minute or more in length, labour is said to be 'established'.

A 'show' - the discharge of a plug of mucus that can be thick and stringy or blood-tinged. This may happen the day you go into labour, or up to a week before.
'Breaking of your waters' - this means the amniotic sac around your baby has ruptured.

Every labour is different. If you think you could be in labour, the first thing to do is relax and stay calm. The best place for early labour is at home.

When women who are planning to birth in a primary maternity unit or hospital stay at home until their labour is established, they are less likely to have interventions in their labour and are more likely to have a normal birth.
