I am so happy and tired ofcourse 
A few days before they were born, I was reading a post and the lady delivered twins vaginally without pain meds because she was fully dilated. While reading it, I thought, that can never happen to me.
I will either have a C section or have time for epidural. But life isnt always that perfect.I was supposed to be induced on Sep 19th. My boys were born on Sep 13th. I was on Nifedipine since week 20 and stopped taking it when I hit 37 weeks (Sep 11th). The next day I was contracting pretty regularly. My NST nurse told me that I was in labor. This was Sep 12th evening. On Sep 13th, my water broke at 8am. I reached the hospital at 9:30am. The ride to the hospital was 30 minutes long and I was contracting every 2 min and in pain. When we reached the hospital, the nurse admitting me was taking her own sweet time (or so I thought at that time). Then came in a doc who checked my cervix and said I was 10cm and ready to go. WHAT
..........WAIT.........I needed an epidural. I took one when my daughter was born, and wasnt prepared to deliver all naturally. They shifted me to OT, and was put on the operating table. Ok that is such a torture when docs tell you to deliver naturally and place you on a hard table with no room. I have to admit while pushing out Twin A, I was really tempted to have a C-section, cz the pain was unbearable. When Twin A was born, the contractions slowed down and the doc said we might need to do a C-section for twin B. Well I wasnt going to let that happen. Thankfully the contractions picked up and Twin B was born after 50 minutes. I wasnt able to see either of them as they were whisked away by the neonatologists. Twin A was in the NICU for 2 days, Twin B went to the newborn nursery. Both were able to come home with us.There sister fell in love
with them the moment we brought them home and now has to be near them always. She has a fit if she cant see one of them. I am doing ok........had a few stitches. But developed fever 4 days after delivery. Turned out to be Ecoli infection in bladder and uterus. I am on antibiotics and will get better soon.
My boys were supposed to be Mono/di, but their placentas came out fused together, so now we are not sure if they are identical or fraternal. Let me know what you guys think.....
We named them Ruhaan: it means spiritual and Ritvik : it means scholar. The running joke now is if they will turn out to fit there names or be complete opposites.
Twin A (Ruhaan) : 5lb 11 ounces
Twin B (Ritvik) : 6lb 1ounce.
I have to thank all of you for so much support. Its incredible to have people who actually understand what mothers of multiples go through. Thank you.
