Early labour (sometimes called the latent phase of labour) can last anything from a few hours to a few days.In this time you may have periods of regular contractions, followed by periods of irregular contractions that can even stop for a few hours. During early labour your cervix will go from being thick, closed and firm to being soft, thin and stretchy. This change enables the cervix to start opening.
