Thursday 29 March 2007
Erin Grace 6lb 14oz at 2050hrs
Jack Nathan 7lb 14oz at 2109hrs

Well what happened was................

Thursday 29 March pessary in at 9am, nothing happening and 2nd one due in at 3pm but they were too busy. At 4.20pm dh popped in to check it was safe to bring James in for a visit. Whilst he went to nursery to get him the midwife had a check. I was 2cm dialated but my cervix was at the back on me and off to the left!!

She said she was going to stretch it a bit and pull it forward. I nearly hit the ceiling ouch

4.40pm dh & ds came in and I suddenly felt in a lot of pain. Suggested that not good to stay and with that at 5.00pm my waters went. Dh dropped ds off at home with nan and came straight back to delivery.

A georgous anthetist (sp?) gave me an epidural (it was either that or general if a twin problem) which was fantastic - better than last time. 8.30pm she checked and I was 10cm and ready to push, Erin out at 2050hrs, which was quick.

While dh was cooing over a new daughter, a midwife & dr grabbed my stomach to stop twin 2 from turning and Jack out at 2109hrs.

Up on the ward at midnight, dh went home and I was in the worst pain ever. I had water retention as no cathertir (sp?) so I was drained and all is well.

Very quick, and got home last night.
