Had my dr appointment at 11am. We listened to the heartbeats measured my fundus only 44 and last week it was 47. So I asked if she would be so kind as to strip my membranes because one of my IP's arrived on Wednesday and we all just wanted to get the show on the road. So she checks my cervix and I was dilated to 6cm already. WHAT? I seriously thought I was in a dream. Who dilates to a 6 and doesn't really even notice? The night before I was pretty nauseous and had some diarrhea so I got in the bathtub to help and started timing contractions. They were pretty mild and irregular, like every 3-6min, closer than they had been the whole pregnancy, but still very irregular. I never had any bleeding or loss of fluid so I just hung out in the bathtub for a while. Took a reglan for the nausea and went back to bed. When I woke up I was still pretty nauseous and had a lot of indigestion so I ate and took my kids to school. Then Dr's office....
So apparently since I was already a six she thought I should probably go to the hospital to get them out. OMG I got so nervous. It was so surreal I really felt like I was in a crazy dream where I have babies without any pain at all. Well, it was not a dream, and there was plenty of pain! I got to the hospital got my IV and got my water broke. A few contractions later I felt baby A drop into my pelvis and the pain started. It was tolerable still because the contractions weren't very close yet. And an hour later I was an 8, so off to the OR we went. Then about another hour later after a lot more contractions I was ready to push. And a few pushes later baby A, 5lbs 11oz was here perfect and pink and with a couple of very happy daddy's. (IP number 2 was there via skype.) Then checking on baby B.....breech of coarse it can't be that easy. So a few contractions and they break water talk about a waterfall I didn't know there was so much water in there. It just kept coming and of coarse my LDR nurse brain was thinking prolapsed cord, but thank goodness that wasn't a problem. Then a couple more contractions we have one foot through the cervix and the other still in the uterus, seriously kid, I was back to being dilated to an 8 so we were gonna have to dilate again so Dr pulled his foot through the cervix which by the way hurts really bad when you start a contraction in the middle of it. But she got it and a few contractions later it's time to push again. This part seemed to take forever because I knew if he didn't come a cesarean it was for me. But he came and it hurt! But it didn't matter baby B 6lbs 8oz happy and healthy- in shock, but healthy. And dad was ear to ear smiles. Made it all worth while! So now he's getting to know his 2 sons. These 2 little bundles of joy that just 34ish weeks ago were little frozen Popsicle embryos and are now 2 perfect little babies. It has been a strange but very gratifying experience I am so blessed that everything has gone as well as it has I am thankful to everyone for their support especially my IP's. I'm so happy for them and their 2 new members of their family! Till next time????
