About Labor and Delivery!

I got induced on January 20, 2000.  I had to be at the hospital at 6:30 A.M. It was snowing really hard. Even through we only live 20 minutes away from the hospital we decided to leave a hour early. Before we left my parents made me stand outside in the snow so they could get final pregnant pictures of me. We got to the hospital at 6:15 and by 6:45 the doctor came in and broke my water. My parents, boyfriend and aunt were all there at this time. At about 10:00 they checked and I was dilated to 5 cm. Somewhere around this time I started having hard contractions and decided to go ahead and get a epurdural, which really helped. About 11:30 my sister, brother-in-law and grandmother were there too. Around 12:00 the nurse came in and said I was dilated to 10 cm and that the doctors midwife would be there in about a hour. She came in at 1:00 and everybody left the room but the nurse, Debbie ( the midwife ) and Geof ( My boyfriend ) I started pushing while we were waiting for the doctor. I got moved to the O.R just incase I needed to have a C-section. By the time there were about 4 nurses, the doctor, Debbie, the anastitiologist, and Geof. At 1:50 P.M MaKayla Renee was born weighing 6Lbs 5oz and 19 1/2 in. long. Sydney Brianne decided to turn around so they had to do a breech delivery. Thank goodness I could'nt feel anything. She weighed 6Lbs 8oz and 18 1/2 in. long. She did'nt breath for the first min. I guess because of her tramatic birth. Geof was Holding MaKayla while they were finishing everything up on me. Both babies were very healthy. MaKayla has lots of black hair, Sydney had a little. The recovery for me was a lot worse than delivering them.
