I was scheduled for an induction on the 24th, but went into labour myself on Monday (36 weeks +3) It was an amazingly smooth vaginal birth. Only 3 hrs from 3-4cm to birth and no tears or stitches! Clara was born first weighing 5lbs14oz and 8 min later Ainslie was born weighing 5lbs8oz. They both scored apgars of 9 and I got to have them in my arms right away! My hospital's policy is 72 hrs minimum for near term babies, but Clara and Ainslie passed every test with flying colors, so we went home less than 48 hrs after birth.
They are doing great so far although Ainslie has lost a little more weight than preferred, but they eat well (bfing and supp with formula until my milk comes in), so my dr isn't too worried.
When I find time I will post photos and update this thread.
