I went to my antenatal after a trip up to the hospital just two days earlier when they booked me in for a tentative induction ,since then I had been getting contractions for two days.

I just about begged the doctor to induce me I was so fed up almost 38 weeks with twins I was in misery, twin A's head had still not engaged which meant a slight risk of cord prolapse but when he checked my cervix I was 2.5 cm dilated and stretching to 3cm so he told me to arrive at hospital at 7am the next morning.

We arrived at hospital at 6:45am waited for a doctor who told me I was now stretching to 4cm dilated and my cervix was only .5cm long. She put in an internal monitor, broke my waters and told me Twin A had dark hair. She left me to my own resources!!

About an hour later a student doctor came in me to cross match my blood and put a huge drip in for the epidural I was supposed to have. After he left the the midwife told me too walk, walk, walk which is what I did until 11:30am when the contractions started to make me unable to walk and I became became very loud and irritable.

The doctor did an internal and said they would start the drip as I was still only 4cm dilated. I asked could they wait till 1pm, they agreed. My contractions were still all over the place but began to hurt alot.

I tried the gas but it did nothing. At 12:30pm I told the midwife when I had a contraction, I felt like pushing she said no way. She sais she was going on lunch about 10 minutes later I told my sister I needed to go the toilet and to get me the bedpan, I tried and it did nothing and so I said I needed to push.

The midwife "standing in" knew I was in labor. My midwife and the doctor rushed in, threw everything into place and two pushes later her head was out then one more, she was born!

Abigail Rose Kincaid-Grant at 1:02pm weighing 5lb 13oz and measuring 46.5cm or 18 inches her head was 33cm around. She had black hair and lots of it.

They cut her cord and checked to see if Twin B was aligned, within two minutes I got another contraction and with two pushes at 1:07pm Hannah May was born, posterior and waving, weighing 6lb 1oz and measuring in at 48cm or 18 3/4 inches with a head circumference of 34cm!!

One minute later I began getting another contraction and my placenta was birthed very healthy. I had no tears, no drugs and the pushing stage was over within 15 minutes of it beginning.

I began breast feeding straight away!! The experience was to tremendous to describe. We left hospital just 3 days later all still breast feeding!
