My twins were born 4 weeks early. I had contractions for about a week prior to labor.At about 4 am my contractions got stronger, I started timing them. i woke up my husband and we called my mom to come watch my other kids, ages 4 and 2.
When we got to the hospital I was admitted immediately since I was already 3 cm and fully effaced. My contractions were very strong but still irregular. The doctor thought they would even out before the birth.My husband went home to check on the kids since I was told it would be hours.
The nurse came back to check on me in 30 minutes and I was already 8 cm. We called my husband and he rushed back.At that point I was given a stimulant to even out the contractions, but it was not working. I stayed at 9 cm for 3 hours and was given a uterine relaxant to help correct the irregular contractions. I was at 10 cm and this still hadn't done much and I was ready to push.
The pushing was very intense and lasted over an hour. I could not rest much since the contractions could not be timed. After an hour of pain, pushing and screaming, Stepanie was born at 6 lbs 4 oz.
I was then rushed into a c- section to deliever noelle who was born 20 minutes later. After that I stayed in the hosptial for 3 days. I couldn't sit from the pressure of Stephaines birth and I couldn't walk from the pain of the c-section. This was porbally my worst labor, but it was worth it to get the twins. I don't think I'll be having any more kids though. 4 is enough. :)
