**UPDATE** BIRTH STORY
Well girls it was all very quick for me!! Glad that we live close by (literally a 2 miute walk) to my local private hosipital!!
At 12.30am on Wednesday morning 25/1/12 I was in bed and felt a slight thud down there followed by a contraction. I proceeded to get myself out of bed, go to the toilet where I had a small gush then a small amount of leaking in my pad. I called the hospital at 1.10am to let them know I was getting contractions every 9 mins or so had some leaking etc. The midwife told me to organise the sitter for the other kids and not to rush but get there within the hour. In the meantime while speaking to her my contractions were starting to come quicker about every 6 mins or so and then I was also getting an almost half contraction in between these.
My mother in law arrived at 1.20am and we headed off to the hospital, I didn't think it was a good idea to hang around at home as my pain was increasing and the contractions were now about 5 mins apart with the middle contraction also happening, not for as long but the strength was there.
We arrived at the hospital and the midwife knew i was in full labour, I told her my last labour was pretty quick approx 2 and a half hours. She settled us straight into our room and asked if she could check my pad for wetness and if I could use the toilet to check my urine. I told her that I could and headed to the bathroom.
I told the nurse I had opened my bowel after my first contraction and felt that I could do this again. My contractions were coming a lot quicker and harder now lasting longer too! I made it back to the bed and she asked me to lay on my side so she could put the monitor on to check the babies.
This is when I felt I needed pain relief and asked for an epidural as my doctor had wanted me to have one in case he needed to turn twin 2. She called my doctor straight away and then gave me the gas for some relief. I felt the need to start to push, this is where it all got very intense and surreal and I knew that it would be happening soon.
Next thing I know my doctor has arrived and he is trying to tell the nurse position of twins to put monitor around my belly, he tells me he is going to put a monitor on twin 1's head. That's when he said to me, I think we're ready to have these babies if you feel the need to push do it. And so I did, 2 big pushes and Cruz Leslie arrived safely at 2.10am weighing in at 7lbs 2oz (3240g) 50cm long 34cm head circumference. They placed him on my chest and then I started contracting again.
At this stage the nurse was putting in an iv to put in syntocin to keep contractions going but they were happening and I just tried to focus and keep breathing. They took Cruz as I needed to push again, 2 pushes and Seth Leslie was born at 2.16am weighing 6lbs 11oz (3040g). They placed him on me, then took him quickly. He needed a blast of oxygen to clear amniotic fluid which he bought up straight away and there were no issues.
I found the birth of the placentas probably harder, i lost a bit of blood and they had to insert a catheter and i passed a few large clots but within 20 mins or so I was feeding Cruz while they attended to Seth. I started to feel nauseous and my body went into a little shock from everything happening so quickly and the blood loss but I felt a lot better after a few hours of sleep and some breakfast.
We have been home 1 night and things are so far going good. I am breastfeeding which is going great, I plan to pump as well so hubby and kids can help out. Only had our daughter home with us last night so haven't had a full house yet with 5 kids but that will be tomorrow night! So I will update and let you know how it goes!
I absolutely adore my little boys, they are an absolute blessing and it's hard to believe I carried both these perfect little beings inside me.
Hope I haven't droned too long!!
