Default Re: Delivery suite

I have had no catches since my first one, but I know they will come when the time is right, so am not worried too much about that.

I had the privilage to witness an emergency caesarean section yesterday of twins, my first twin delivery, and it was very interesting to watch.

They were monochorionic twins, 30 weeks gestation, and there was a problem with the placenta, it wasn't twin to twin transfusion, it was something to do with the transfer from the placenta to the babies, (wish I could remember the name of it grrr)

Both babies are doing well and cried as soon as they were delivered, and Mum was fine.

I also got the chance to watch the paediatricians checking the babies, and making sure they got any help they needed which was fascinating.
