June 1st was my due date for a full term pregnancy, my csection was scheduled for May 18th (38 weeks), which I fully expected to make it too. But no way, my twins wanted to be born in April the day after my birthday. It was a non-eventful month, just lots of heartburn & odd sleep patterns, went to the dentist & tried to get my hospital pictures all set up. I woke up to pain & lots of liquid; my water had broke. I called my doctor at 7:00am expecting to be able to stay home (naive FTM), but I was told to go to the hospital.

Upon checking in I saw my doctor & tried to negotiate a vaginal birth but he wouldn’t do it. Twin A was transverse breech, therefore there was no way he would deliver any way but csection. During prep I was given an antacid to help with heartburn, but I had a premonition this was not going to go well. As I laid down to begin the procedure I started to feel nauseous all over AGAIN. I held myself together long enough to get the babies out, then the true adventure began.

After the twins were out I lay there crying tears of joy while I suppressed the vomit trying to come out. It was another 24 hours of feeling nauseous & vomiting again before I felt better. The nurses kept trying to give me medications to stop it by it needed to take its course just like when I was pregnant.

Twin A was born at 10:58am & Twin B 10:59am. Both were screaming & healthy. It was the most amazing moment of my life to see this pregnancy come to an end, resulting in my beautiful little boy & girl.
