Trust me Ren, you do notice the time! Although time went really wacky for me during labour, (apparently this is common), I still knew what time it was when my waters broke, when I had my first contraction, and what time DS was born. It really sticks in your mind! It's just the time in between that really freaked me out! I sooooooo didn't believe my DH and middy everytime I asked what time it was. They actually had to show me the clock, I just couldn't believe how much time had passed! Fortunately I wasn't that interested and only asked a couple of times during the 14 hours
