I honestly don't remember. I remember them saying I was at a 10 and I said thank God. So they told me to start pushing and I put all my focus and energy into and being able to push was the best feeling ever for me. After awhile I had a baby girl on my chest and literally it was like all the pain of contractions and pushing were gone. The contractions to me was the worse part because I had back labor. But once you start if you just focus no matter how long it was you probably won't remember like me. Haha. I guess that's why I was so willing to do it over again. And I get to soon and can't wait to meet my baby boy!

I drank raspberry leaf tea too from 30 weeks with my first (he's 3 weeks old) and I had him at 36 weeks due to an infection causing prem rupture of waters, anyway I only pushed for 13 mins not sure if the rlt worked or if it was because he was only 5lb 10oz, I think it was the tea I took the capsules too! I still ended up with 8 labia stitches tho :-/ x
