My babies turned 1 month old today, and my God - what an unbelievable, overwhelming,
challenging, adventurous roller coaster ride it has been. And I'm not even sure if that description
does any justice.

i gave birth to twins
The room was
cold.
My ob-gyn checked the babies' position on ultrasound one last time before deciding to proceed with the c-section. I was scheduled to be taken into the operating room at 8 PM. The anesthesiologist was standing by my head side on the right, monitoring my blood pressure and my heart rate. I was lying down on the operating table just after he injected a liquid in my spine (for which he asked me to bend in front as further as I could) and I felt the liquid flow down. Then he pressed something on my stomach and asked if I felt anything. Then he dabbed a wet cotton and asked if I felt anything. He had to ensure the spinal anesthesia he injected worked so I would not feel a thing chest-down. He also gave me live commentary on what was happening beyond the curtain that blocked my view of the operation so that I'm aware. Perhaps because I was constantly asking him questions to know what was going on.
