I am a pre-nursing student and l&d is a particular interest of mine. Maybe because I have had 3 little ones. Anyway, I watch these shows on the discovery channel and I hear the nurses counting. To me it is just plain annoying. And when I was delivering I think I would have told off anyone who did. Well with #1 my hubby did try to count but the CNM told him I knew when to push and for how long before I got the chance. So do you count when your moms are pushing? If so do any of your moms ask you not to? If you don't do any drs/cnm's want you to?
Just curious.
Thanks
