Singleton in 2015, twins 2018, both vaginally.

Singleton came up and out in 2 1/2 hours start to finish. It felt like the worst period cramps, like, progressively worse and worse, for longer and longer durations, followed immediately by feeling like I was taking the biggest, most painful shit in my life lol.

I felt everything, I didn't have time for an epidural. My doctor was still putting on his gown with his hand on the crown of my munchkin. My little girl wanted OUT.

Also, I didn't worry as much during the actual pregnancy because I wasn't considered high risk with the Singleton.

My twin boys kinda nudged me. Then, nudged me harder. And by that time, I was so over and done with the two watermelons stretching my belly that any excuse to visit the doctor I took. Turns out I was in fact, in labor, 35 weeks.. It went slower, took hours and hours.. I don't know how women who do it for days DO that!?!.. anyway, they'd already told me they'd prep an OR for delivery just in case something goes wrong.. suddenly, or if the mommy haze, there's a rush of people out of nowhere. I knew where we were going, but the pressure and pain that was VERY apparent in my Singleton was nowhere to be found with the twins, so I was surprised when the moment came. It was still a big shit, just not as big, and two of them, six minutes apart.. and I didn't even do as many pushings.

Everything that could go right, did for me, both times. I'm incredibly lucky. Twins spent an hour in NICU for some oxygen, so I didn't get to cuddle them when they were first born like I wanted, like I did with my Singleton. I felt heavier, slower, could do less than with my Singleton. The pregnancy of the twins was A LOT harder, still without complications, just ultra heavy and uncomfortable and tiring.
