Brantley Monroe arrived yesterday (Sunday 11/15) at 12:40 pm after 27 hours of induced labor. Thanks to an epidural given at about 8 pm Saturday evening, I was pretty comfortable the whole time except for about an hour before pushing when it just wasn't strong enough to cover the contractions. He is 8 lbs 11 oz of absolute perfection! He has barely cried except for when he needed changed (he's a pooping machine!), was such a tough boy during all the poking and prodding after birth, and has slept like an angel. We're so in love with this little boy!!!<3
My prayers will go out to you and all to those who are getting induced into labor. I am also getting induced in two days so good luck and best wishes on a safe, healthy, and successful delivery. One of the ladies on here suggested to me to stay calm during induction, recommends epidural as soon as possible, and to not panic when you're in pain. Just try your best to think about how exciting it is to finally see your baby come out, because it makes process move along much quicker. Hang in there! <3
