I was so nervous for my c-section. My husband and I had signed up for birthing classes and part of the class is where they show you a movie about someone having a c-section. Oh yeah that was helpful!! I was being prepped for surgery, my husband was by my side and I was shaking uncontrollably. I remember lying there and seeing all these people around me in the operating room. It was an eerie feeling. Everything started out fine. My son was born first and then my daughter. They started to hand my son to me and then I could see that something was wrong with his color, and they whisked him away to ICU with my husband. I was still really out of it. Thankfully, my daughter was fine and I was able to hold her. I was placed in a recovery room and it seemed like forever before they brought me my daughter. My son was still in ICU with my husband so they sent me a Polaroid picture of my little boy all hooked up to machines. I wanted to see him, but was unable.
Luckily, my son was fine by the next day and I was able to see them both. Thankfully, my mom was also now here. We were required to stay in the hospital for a week because they were still considered premature and I was recovering. That was the worst week. I was so worried that someone was going to mistakenly take my twins home I wanted them with me at all times. Anyone that has spent any time in a hospital knows how little sleep you get. In addition, the pain medicine I received gave you that falling sensation. I just wanted to go home. After a week, I got my wish and we all were able to go home. My mom stayed with us, which was a blessing, for now the real work began…
