Walker Starr's birthstory
Due to pregnancy induced hypertension, my midwife administered 2 small doses of Cytotech to induce labor. I took the first dose at 7am and the second at noon on Sunday the 11th. By 8pm, I was in the beginning of labor. We went to the birth center at 11pm and we were 3 centimeters dilated. I labored in a birthing tub, which was AWESOME because it really helped me deal with the contractions that were coming every minute and a half. I did some squatting to move Walker down the birth canal a bit and then three big pushes and he was out. I had some minor tears which required stitches... nothing major. The only pain medication I took was after the birth. I took two tylenol and hopped in the shower 2 hours after he was born. He is just gorgeous... and my husband was a champion! I could not have made it through a drug free labor without his support, guidance, calm and encouragement. A simply amazing man! Also, my Mom and Dad flew in to be here for the birth of their grandson. So... lots of support and love.
