ANS: C
Precipitous labor contractions produce very rapid, intense contractions. A precipitous labor lasts less than 3 hours from the beginning of contractions to birth. Patients often progress through the first stage of labor with little or no pain and may present to the birth setting already advanced into the second stage.
