What are the three stages of labor?

  1. Pre-labor, transitional, and inactive

  2. Latent, active, and postpartum

  3. Pre-labor, active, and postpartum

  4. Latent, transitional, and inactive

The correct answer is: Pre-labor, active, and postpartum

The three stages of labor are pre-labor, active labor, and postpartum. This includes the time before contractions start (pre-labor), the time when contractions become regular and the cervix begins to dilate (active labor), and the time immediately after childbirth (postpartum). Option A is incorrect because "transitional" is not a stage of labor, it is a phase within active labor. Similarly, option B is also incorrect as "postpartum" is not a stage of labor, it is the period after childbirth. Option D is incorrect because "transitional" is still not a stage of labor, and "latent" is the time before contractions start which falls under the pre-labor stage. Therefore, the correct answer is C as all three answers correctly identify the three stages of labor in order.
