Re: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth of twins

2005-07-05 Thread Lindsay & Yvette
Wow Sue, my husband and I are reading this with amazement.  So they were 
identical twins sharing a placenta like mine are?  And I assume the cervix 
would have closed/reformed to some extent, & dilated again when contractions 
started again?  I've been beside myself worrying about the birth of my twins 
and how sharing a placenta will affect the birth.  And that's quite a big 
size difference too for identicals, but obviously there was no TTTS during 
pg.  Was there any TTTS during labour?  Wow I would love to talk to you 
about this birth.

Hi everyone,
I thought to let you know about a lovely homebirth of twins on Monday 4th 
July.

Two little boys, 6lb7oz and 5lb 12oz, born 10.5 hours apart.
SRM 3.30 am and birth of baby #1 at 6.49am.
Then a few hours where ctxs were fairly regular but not so strong unless 
baby#1 was breastfeeding. You could see the second baby positioning itself 
and the uterus working hard to pull down into shape for baby#2. I'd clamped 
the cord of baby#1 after 10 mins in case of bleedthrough, and clamped the 
other end as well so that the placenta retained its size until after baby#2 
was born.
After about 4 hours I asked to check baby #2 position. It was too hard to 
palpate so I did a VE and found head there, not well applied, but there. 
Cervix was 9 ish cms.
So we waited, fetal heart always good and strong. Set up the pool and 
mother relaxed for an hour or so with ctxs beginning to pick up again. She 
decided to hop out and at 5.05 pm baby#2 emerged in his caul. She birthed 
the placenta unaided 35 minutes later. Blood loss 300ml. (Her Hb and 
ferritin levels were both low).


It was a huge leap of faith, but there was nothing happening to raise any 
alarm bells. Both babies are really gorgeous, feeding well and very happy.

I am once again humbled by the strength of women
