Born 3/31 around 2am (less than a half hour apart). I got my vaginal birth, though not without work! Marcus was 6lbs 15oz and Gabriel was 6lbs 11oz.
Labor/birth highlights:
-- Elevated BP at doc on Fri w urine protein, cervical dilation, and twins = induction. Born at 37w (barely)2d. I got my main OB which was so, so amazing.
-- Total labor, from start of pit to babies, was 17hrs. Labor was not bad. Did not enjoy the epidural though I was grateful to have it (if that makes sense).
-- 5hrs of pushing. Marcus was first and endured some battle wounds. Gabriel was 2nd and was born w/ his cord around his neck. He came out limp but they were quick and he pinked right up.
-- 24hrs of mag after. This was by far, BY FAR, the worst part. "Hi, happy labor, now you can't take care of your kids and you'll feel like crap."
