THE TWINS ARE HERE!

Zola Clair and Zev Carter were born on September 11th 2014. Zola was born at 12:50pm and Zev was born at 1:04pm, I think I got the time right, everything was a blur that day. On September 10th I came in for a ultrasound, and things changed fast. Zola was much smaller than Zev and she was in distress. The doctor told me that I should go to Labor and Delivery right away. They were all very serious and it kinda made me panic. I wasn't expecting to have the babies that day, I was hoping maybe they will give me a induction date for that following week. So me and my mom rushed over to the labor and delivery floor with no hospital bag or birthing plan.
Everything moved so fast, I couldn't believe they were going to be born. So they gave me a room and hooked me up to iv's and stuff and gave me pitocin. When I came to the hospital I was already 4 cm dilated so that made things even faster. The pitocin didn't work for about 5 hours. Then around midnight I started to feel a little cramping. It wasn't anything bad till that next morning. I woke up with an oxygen mask on, and I have no idea when that happened, my mom said something about my oxygen levels were low when I was sleeping. But that next morning was hell. I was so close to getting an epidural, but I didn't. The real contraction pains came that morning. I couldn't think, breathe or move!
I felt Zola coming down, It was like something dropped "down there."  So my mother rushed out to get a doctor cause I wanted to epidural and the nurse had a nerve to tell me it will take about 2 hours till I can get the epidural. TWO HOURS, so I broke down after that, I was in shock and I now knew that I'm going to push twins out with no epidural. So my doctor came in to check me and he said I was fully dilated. Everyone was shocked cause it all happened fast. So they rolled me over to the o.r. to deliver. They were about 2 doctors and 8 nurses in the room with me. I hate the operation room, it was so bright. Everyone was shocked that I had no epidural and I think my mom almost fainted. She never saw a live birth (she missed Jacob's by a few minutes). Zola was only 3.9 pounds when she was born and didn't have to go to the nicu. Zev flipped after Zola came out. So he came out breech (butt first) and was a lot easier than pushing out Zola. Zev was a lot bigger than his big sister, he was 5.3 pounds. They didn't cry much, they were very calm babies. The whole process was pretty fast and unexpected, but.I would't want to go though it again!
