Labor is described in three stages, and together these stages complete the delivery. In the first stage the cervix gradually opens up (dilates). The second stage is the actual birth of your baby. The third and final stage is the delivery of the placenta.
First stage: dilation of the cervix
Second stage: birth of your baby
Third stage: delivery of the placenta
You can use the contraction timer to measures the contractions within the first stage of labor.
The first stage of labor is itself split into yet another three separate phases:
Contraction interval: 5-30 mins
Duration contractions: 30-60 sec
Dilation: 0-3 cm / 0 - 1.5 ”

Contraction interval: 3-5 mins
Duration contractions: 45-60 sec
Dilation: 4-7 cm / 1.5 - 3 ”
Duration: 3-5 hours
Contraction interval: 30 sec - 3 mins
Duration contractions: 1-2 mins
Dilation: 8-10 cm / 3 - 4 ”
