A patient was admitted with labor pain. The uterine contraction lasted for about 30 seconds initially, but gradually increased in duration with the progression of labor. In which stage of labor is she now?

1st stage
2nd stage
3rd stage
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: A - 1st stage

The first stage starts with the onset of true labor pain, and ends with full dilation of the cervix. Contractions usually last much longer in the second stage than in the first stage. The second stage commences at full dilation of the cervix, and ends with expulsion of the fetus. The third stage begins after expulsion of the fetus.
