This is my birth story !

This is my birth story !

So i was in labor a total of 12 hours. Had him natural vaginally. I was induced 1230 noon 4/20/15 using cervadil .. And after about an hour on it my water broke on its own after I wasn't progressing quickly and was dilating 1cm every 2 hours I was administered pitocin and then was progressing nicely on my own after that so they stopped increasing my dose.

I got my epidural very early when I was about 1cm. And by the time It hit 5am on 4/21/16 I was at 8cm my contractions were intense and from their to 10cm it was wearing off for about 2 hours and I felt every contraction and had to breathe through them. I started pushing about 6:55am the nurse showed me how to push I did two practice ones .. I pushed him out in 3 pushes after that but 5 all together 15 min it took of pushing. By 7:10am he was born . I got a very slight episiotomy my doctor cut a little I have a few stitches nothing major. It was such an easy delivery I'm shocked. Worth everything !

JJ weighed in at 8lbs 10.1 oz was an estimated 8lbs 7oz before birth so my doctor was almost spot on
