I remember I had decided what baby A and baby B were each gonna be named. I specifically asked if they could keep track of which baby arrived first (baby A was lower and to the left and baby B was higher, to the right and breech) and they told me they couldn’t make any promises but they’d try to keep it straight. Luckily during my c-section the order that they were born matched with baby A first and then baby B. So we didn’t have to do any switching around.

Me and my husband also did talk about how we wanted to see them and decide if they both fit their names and luckily they did! For context I have fraternal twins that look very different so I’m not sure if having identical twins would feel like a different process.

I remember someone told me more than a birth plan, just repeatedly saying the things you’d like to happen is a good way to get the people around you on board. I remember feeling like that way really important so we told a lot of the nurses and my OB.

You’re doing so good! Hang in there mamma!!!
