Friday, 11 Jan

Well as you know I was sched for induction on Monday the 7th to be induced. I went in to the hospital with Chris at 0830 and was settled into a room by 0900. They then began a CTG of the girls and took my bp. After I was all hooked up to the machines the midwife checked me for dialation and to see if the proticin gel would be needed. I was already at a 1cm but was still not far enough that my water could be broken and Abby `s head was still high up. SO, the 1st gel was inserted and we waited. At about 1500 the midwife returned to check me to see if anything was happening down there. She hooked me up for another CTG, checked my cervix, which there was no change, so she did the 2nd dose of gel. This time it started up some irregular contractions, nothing big, I didn`t even feel them. At about 8PM the midwife advised Chris to go home get some rest and that it looked like nothing was going to happen tonight and that my next dose of gel wouldn`t be till the next morning at 0800. So he left, I was given some codine to slee. The midwife said that if I took the drugs they would allow me to sleep but not through labor, they assured me that labor would wake me. At about 0115, on the 8th now, I woke up having to pee, so I went to the bathroom. I went to the midwife station afterward to let her know that I was some cramping, she asked if it was regular, I said I didn `t think that they were, so I returned to my room at about 0130 and layed down for awhile. I was still having mild cramps and thought that a warm bath would help so I got up at about 0220 and told the midwife that I was having these pains a little stronger now and that I was going to take a bath to see if maybe they would go away. I must have been in the bath all of 3 minutes before I felt a little gush in the tube. So I got up thinking I needed to pee again. As soon as I was out of the tube my water broke, I then had another cramp, not knowing that they were really contractions, a little more painful than the last. then another gush, so I rang for the midwife, I told her what was happening, she grabbed a wheel chair I put on my robe in between contractions and there was still more gushing. she ran me over to labor and delivery, by this time I was contracting every other minute. they thought that the labor would be awhile so they called Chris, said no rush, meanwhile I am telling them that I needed my antibiotics for my GBS and that I wanted an epidural ASAP. They kept saying there was plenty of time, that was until the doc came in 2 minutes later, it`s about 0245 now, and she saw that I was already dialted to a 7. As soon as she was done checking me and they were calling the anthesisolgist I felt the urage to push, they said no it wasn`t time and to just breath but I couldn`t. So I pushed anyway, they all franticly started running around the doc checked me again and said that we need to get to the delivery now. It was now about 0255 and everyone was in a state of panic and rush, nothing was prepared, no drugs, no antibiotics, no CTG machine, the pediatrician was paged, and the doc announced that I was fully dialated! I couldn`t believed it, the anesistioligist said she was so sorry that there was no pain relief now but old fashioned oxygen. At 0258 Chris walked into the delivery room not expecting to see Abby `s head crowning and me being told to push, he hurridly ran over to my side and started asking one of the 10 people in the room what happened and why wasn`t he called sooner, and not but 3 minutes later Abby was pushed into the world, world ready or not she was ;0)It was so amazing, Chris and I were so proud that I had done it all with out any pain relief, and I am the biggest weeny when it comes to pain. They took Abby away to check her over, it was now time for Emmy to come. The contractions started to slow down, and I was able to catch my breath and still ask if there was time for any pain relief for Emmy `s birth, they said no. I thought it would be worth a shot to ask. So anyway, the contractions where dying off, the doc hurried to get an iv drip in me to help get the contractions started back up. Within a minute or so they were back, faster and longer than before, but they didn `t do anything but make me scream. So the doc popped Emmy `s water bag, and waited. The contrations still were not making me want to push and still nothing was making her want to turn from her breech posisition. So I was told I would have to deliver her feet first, the hardest delivery they say it is to do. The doc uped the drip and things happened fast, first a foot came out so the doc had to go and grab the second. Finally I was able to push and it was the longest 2 minutes of pushing in my life. But Emmy was born feet first and I felt they huge wave of relief. It was amazing. Chris and I still can `t believe it all happened the way it did, and in record time for twins. They girls are healthy, I felt absoultly great within hours after. I guess now the hard part of taking care of all my beautiful girls starts. ..>
