My Twin Birth Story (30w6d)

I went in only because I was having an increase in braxton hicks contractions. No pain but my doc wanted me to go to L&D to be monitored. Immediately they saw I was having contractions 2-4 mins apart. I was shocked. Then 4 people checked my cervix (I would never allow that again!) Painful and I swear it did more harm than helped. They got 3 cm, 4cm, 6cm and a dumb doc got 8 cm! (How the heck did they all get diff dilations? I mean really!!) They immediately started prepping me for an emergency csection...wo once telling me what was going on. Then when there was 10+ people rushing around the room my husband said "TIME OUT! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!" Apparently the last doc thought I was 8 cm and that he felt babies toes hanging out.

By the grace of God the doc from my ob practice walked in and calmly checked me (6cm) and US to confirm that the baby was NOT breech! The room cleared in 3 seconds.

The night doc was comfortable with trying a vaginal delivery. So we were happy about that. Well her shift ended and my doc has never had a success attempt at preemie breech delivery. But she got so upset when we brought it up. That it completely hurt my feelings. We just ended up doing the cSection but I know in my heart the babies would have been fine. I didn't want the doc to do something she was uncomfortable with.

Babies are here. They have very minor breathing issues. My milk came in so they are getting momma's milk as of today. So I'm grateful that everything turned out fine.

I just can't wait to hold them and give them kisses
