I said when I called the doc at 1AM. I wasn't sure, there were no contactions. He told me to come in and get checked but I could tell he felt like this was a false alarm. I called my sis to come over, waited for her, packed a bag and the contractions started. They were really close and strong. The entire car ride to the hospital was one LONG HARD contraction. Thankfully it was 1:30 in the AM or traffic would have been bad.
DH pulls in front of the ER, the wheelchair comes out and I get in. I felt like I went to the bathroom on myself as I got into the chair, I was totally grossed out (thinking I was now soiled with #2). I got upstairs (after a man cleaning the evevator asked if we could take the stairs :duh) and the nurses could tell I was having contractions and said to get into the bed the dr was not here yet. At this point nobody (even me realized how far along I was). I asked to use the potty first (because I thought I was dirty from the #2).
I sat on the toilet and realized, that was not #2, it was Baby A. I called for a nurse and she told me to open up so she could look...good thing she could catch because out came Baby A right into her arms(2:05AM)!! Me, her and DH were all in complete shock. The NICU nurse came in, cut the cord and took Baby A to the warmer. SHe looked at me and asked me if i could walk to the bed to get cleaned up and I said " I am having twins". You should have seen her face then!!
So the on call dr came in (mine still not there, I know he didn't believe me). SHe did a u/s and Baby B was breech, and his heart rate was low. I went in for an emergency C. When I woke up DH was there and he told me that we had another boy at 2:23AM.
I was the talk of the floor the whole next day.
