    I just have a minute but I thought that I would try to write about the arrival of our two sons. On the 9th of November I was finally induced at 38+5 weeks with our boys. They administered a gel vaginally and I was told to lie down for an hour, after 15 minutes I started having contractions every two minutes, I was given a appartas called "Tens" to help with the pain, for about an hour, then I took a hot bath for the next hour, after that we were moved into a delivery room where I got to sit on a yoga ball and was given laughing gas, 3 hours later I asked for an epi, but by then I was already at 10 cm so it was too late, it was time to push. After 3 pushes Edvin was born weight 2,850 kg and 7 minutes later after another 3 pushes his brother entered the world weighing 2,980kg. Both had great api scores, 9 and 8, and they stayed with us the whole time. It went really fast and was so much more painful than with my son, (I had an epi with him) but we couldn't have asked for a smoother delivery.
    We stayed in hospital for 5 days just until my milk came in and their weights turned around. They are 16 days old today, and things have been basically a blurr, they eat all the time, so I've been nursing around the clock. My husband goes back to work in 2 weeks and I am terrified to go it alone with out his help. Thank you for all the support that you mothers gave me in this forum, I look forward to meeting you in Twins the first year. Cheers Julia

    I sure hope those weights are in g (grams), not kg (kilograms) :) else you had a couple of full size elephants.

    Way to go!
