Sunday - 8am Birth

From Birth


at about 4am we went down to the Operating Room to begin the pushing stage. After 3Hrs of exhausting trying, Nico who was lined up first, was not coming out.

We realized we were only left with a C-Section to deliver babies. Barbara was bitterly dissappointed.

Babies arrived quickly after procedure began at 8.10am. Nico had fluid in his lungs and was heaving until they sucked it out.

In keeping with our minimal invasive philosophy, we have been questioning every thing that they want to do to the babies in this delicate first few hours.

The Vitamin K injection it turns out, can be given orally, but is given as an injection because it is faster. We asked for the oral version which one of the wonderful nurses gave in five minutes.

After 36 non stop hours I went home to sleep
