My Birth Story by Amanda (aka Mandymum)

I gave birth to my twins via Emergency C-section from PI Hypertension. I went into the hospital on a Saturday night and stayed there while they monitored my blood pressure, Monday morning my OB came in and said the babies were coming out at 11am, I was stunned!

After being extremely nervous they prepped me with a Spinal Anaethesia and very quickly one minute after another my two beautiful little boys were born, I heard them both cry as they came out and got to have a quick cuddle after they were wrapped. The curtain fell a bit so DH saw when they popped the sac and it went on the floor and he almost hurled, he said it was so gross but he couldn't look away. All in all it went extremely smoothly and quick, however I ended up with a "Spinal Headache" which was horrible so I was in hospital for over a week and had to get a 'blood patch' where they take blood out of my arm and put it over the hole where the spinal needle went in.

 Bubbas came home a week later.....
