Labor & Delivery :)






Donovian was born June 5th, 2011 at 7:54 p.m. His official due date was May 30th :) I was going to be induced on thd 5th at 5p.m. LUCKILY, I started having contractions starting at midnight. By 9:30 a.m. they had started my Pitocin. (works FAST) lol! At 11:35 a.m. I was dilated to 3cm. I waited until I was almost 5 1/2 cm dilated to get my epidural. Once I got the epidural, at 7cm I started to feel the contractions again. Sooo, I had them give me more medicine to take the edge off the pain. No more than an hour later I was dilated to 10!!

He weighed 7lbs 1oz and measured 21inches. I have to say the contraction part wasn't AS BAD, as most people make it out to be. Some contractions are small, & then you have some that are breathtaking. PUSHING, is just exhausting! (lol) & with an epidural really really easy to do. I only pushed for about 30 minutes or so. The worse part OF COURSE has been the healing process. It was very frustrating for a few days wanting to bend down, stand up, sit down, lay down, and walk when/how I wanted around and not being able to do so. But, It's getting better ;)(Thank GOD)


I had MORE footage, but some things I just didn't want to show. (I don't think anybody would) lol! I know alot of expecting mommy's have questions. Feel free to ask!

Take Care,
