Griffin was conceived six months after Willie and I were married. I had a relatively easy pregnancy as I never had morning sickness. I didn't feel good the first few months but it was just like having indigestion. I never threw up and ate a lot, as a result I gained 54 pounds.
I was scheduled to give birth 3rd week of July but by the end of July I was nowhere near giving birth and according to the ultrasound Griffin was already estimated to be around 8 pounds so my doctor decided that my pregnancy be induced on the 2nd of August.
I was instructed to go to Cardinal Santos Medical Center at 7:30 am on August 2. I was induced but around noon my water bag broke. My cervix was only dilated 2 cm but I was told that the amniotic fluid was stained with meconium so an emergency C-section had to be done. I was brought to the delivery room at around 3:00 pm. I gave birth 45 minutes later.
Griffin Bailey Chang Javellana was born 3:45 pm on August 2, 2004. He weighed 8 lbs 7oz and was 53 cm in length.
