Rachelle's Multiple Birth Story

My doctor decided to induce a couple of days short of 38 weeks because the labor and delivery unit wasn't going to be busy on that day. Baby A was at a +2 station and I was 75% effaced and dilated to a 2--she expected things to go fast! I was induced at 6:30 a.m., baby A's water was broken at 7:30, and I was fully dilated at 6:30 p.m.. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours (exhausting, especially since I had been on bedrest for 3 months and was so out of shape). We hadn't made any progress for the last 2 hours of pushing so my ob decided to do a C section. It turned out that Baby A had rotated the wrong way, tilted up his chin, and got stuck. Caleb Allen was born at 10:57 p.m.--5 lbs 5 oz and wasn't breathing--it was very scary for me! I felt guilty about allowing myself to be induced--we were told that he was much bigger based on ultrasound. When I heard the weight, I was so scared for baby B, because his measurements were always smaller than baby A's! We did have some health issues (hypothermia, irregular heart rate, feeding) with Caleb but things are finally looking good. Andrew William was born at 11:02--6 lb. 9 oz. and was screaming)! (I guess those ultrasound measurements aren't so accurate!) I was so thrilled to see my baby boys! Though we didn't find out the sex ahead of time, somehow I expected two sons! They are wonderful gifts!
