Multiple Birth Story
The
Birth Story of Kyle and Justin Jones
I was 37 weeks along in my pregnancy and I was scheduled for a repeat c-section,
being I had a c-section with my daughter, Carli. Not to mention both babies
where in breech position. It was 3AM on Friday May 21st 2004. Ken, my mom and
myself got up and got ready to leave for the hospital. Carli had stayed at a
friends house Thursday evening, so both Ken and my mom where able to attend the
birth of the boy’s. We arrived at the hospital at 5AM and I went to check in
while Ken parked the car. The check in nurse told me that I was not scheduled to
have a c-section that day. I was so upset and angry, but didn’t show it. They
called Dr. Clifford Shwartsnburge and rescheduled my time from 7AM to 730AM,
which wasn’t bad. The 3 of us then walked up to Labor and Delivery and the nurse
took us to a room where I was hooked up to monitors and given an IV. At 7AM I
was taken to the operating room and Ken and my mom had to wait outside until I
was giving my epidural and the sheets where covering me. It took the
anesthesiologist a long time to get my epidural in, but after 20 minutes it was
a success.
About 730AM Dr. Clifford started my surgery. Ken and my mom where on the right
side of me waiting for the babies to arrive. At 745AM Kyle Leonard Jones came
out weighing 5lbs 5.5oz and was 18 inches long.
Then at 746AM Justin James Jones came out weighing 7lbs 2.5oz and was 19 inches
long. Both where very healthy and we where all so happy. Ken got to hold Kyle
right after they cleaned him up and I was the first to hold Justin after they
cleaned him up and I was all stitched up and ready to go to recovery. Before we
left the operating room, I was holding both Kyle and Justin all the way down the
hall to the recovery room.
I spent what seem like hours in the recovery room. My blood pressure was really
high. They where worried I would start having seizers if it got any higher. They
had to move me out because they had so many women having babies that morning. I
believe I was finally in my room about 10AM and I was just so happy to have head
such a wonderful experience and 2 healthy baby boy’s. They brought in both boys
to visit me for a little while. They where not allowed to stay long because my
blood pressure was high. I was put on Magnesium to lower my blood pressure. I
was not allowed to nurse them until I came off the medication (which wasn’t till
the following afternoon).
The next day I was taken off the Magnesium and I was then able to nurse the
boys. They did great! And now they where able to stay in my room with me. I was
the happiest mama in the world. I had 3 perfect children and the family I always
wanted.
We all went home Monday, happy and healthy. Kyle weighed 5lbs 2oz and Justin
weighed 6lbs 12oz.
Nana and Carli where at home waiting our arrival.
Recovery from my c-section was so much better this time around and I was able to
do so much after the first week. No one thought I had just given birth let alone
had surgery.
