Method of measurement: The duration of the first stage of labor will be measured using accurate timing (such as a stopwatch or timer) from the onset of contractions to full cervical dilation.;Duration of the second stage of labor. Timepoint: This outcome will be measured only at the end of the study. The duration of the second stage of labor will be measured from the full cervical dilation to the birth of the baby during delivery.
