According to current opinion , childbirth in primiparous women lasts on average 18-20 hours . However, at present, new information has appeared in the literature, according to which their duration in most cases is 11-12 hours. There is also evidence that during childbirth for more than 16 hours, the cerebral hemodynamics of the fetus and newborn are disrupted and significant changes in the metabolic processes of the child are noted.
