What a week!!!
Otto and Theodore made their entrance last Tuesday, 15 October after a quick 3 hour labour. We thought we’d just go in to get confirmation I wasn’t actually leaking amniotic fluid (it was such a tiny amount) but turns out I was and was having babies that night!
Born at 36+5, 2 days before my scheduled induction date, Otto came out weighing 3020g and our tiny Teddy weighed 2522g.
They are both doing absolutely amazingly, didn’t need any SCN but instead were able to come straight to me.
While I suffered a PPH and then hypertension a few days later, I’m slowly starting to feel normal again thanks to my amazing husband who’s making sure I adhere to the prescribed bedrest.
The girls are absolutely in love with the boys and would cuddle them all day if they could. It’s so gorgeous to see how caring and protective they are of them already (but also thank god for school days!)
I absolutely loved my birth and even when things went a bit south a while later, I felt like I was in the best hands and can’t thank my obstetrician and the l two incredible midwives from enough (Thank you Simone and Grace!!).
We’re back home now, enjoying the snuggles and cuddles and very slowly finding our rhythm as a family of six!!
