Bringing Twins into the world...
This topic was created in the Cancer forum by cancerlady on Friday, February 17, 2006 and has 28 replies.
First of all let me say, giving birth is about the most INTERESTING experience I have had and I wanted to share it with all those who want to know what it was like to bring Miesha and Kioni into the world.
I was 35 weeks 5 days when my water broke while I was sitting on the toilet. I had to ask my sister if that's what was happening because of course I had no idea. When she confirmed it, needless to say I was estatic not only because I felt like a beached whale that couldn't sleep, eat, or even BREATHE comfortably...but also because I was ready to meet these two angels!
Even though my water broke at 7:30 pm on Feb 7th...I didn't go to the hospital until 12pm. Luckily for me the pains didn't hit until around 2pm. They said...Would you like an epidural, I said "HELL YEAH!" For those who don't know what that is like...They stick a needle into your spine with an anesthetic that dulls the pain. I almost paralyzed myself because I jumped when she was about to put it in. Everyone was like "YOU CANNOT DO THAT!" LOL So they finally got it in...it worked for a while but after a few hours...THE PAIN TOOK OVER!
OMG! I had one section in my stomach that hurt hurt HURT! The Dr. offered to give me a C-section citing the baby on the top might turn....I really wanted a natural birth though, so I declined. Around 12pm, I finally dialated enough to prep for delivery. I had to deliver in the OR just in case they had to do an emergency C-section. My middle sister came with me and she was GREAT!
Miesha was VERY easy to deliver...I could feel the contractions, but the actual feeling of her coming out was WEIRD! She only took about 9 good pushes and she came out. 5lbs even...they cleaned her and took her away so I wouldn't be distracted...as you know I still had another one to go. KIONI'S ASS! OMG...The fact that they were 50 minutes apart should give you an idea of how hard it was to get her out of there. She was CHILLIN! Pushing out the second one is SO HARD! The Dr. was like "Push through the pain" which brought out the athlete in me...My sister was rubbing my head and EVERYONE else was like "You can do it, you are doing great" etc. So I bore down...burst a few eye vessels and pushed my little Kioni out...5lbs 14oz. That might seem small for me to say it was hard to do, but remember this was the second one, that took alot of me!
So skipping alot of gross stuff
, back in the room...All I could do was just stare at them. Imagine me, a mommy! The feeling is unlike any other, especially when you get two the first time. I was so tired but I couldn't sleep because my mind was racing at the thought of these two girls looking up to me for guidance in life. I called Mr. Pisces around 6pm...he is supposed to be coming here. I am giving him the opportunity to do the right thing, but even if he doesn't...I am glad because he gave me two things so precious and considering they were created in love (I know on my part, and I think on his) they can't be wrong. I am also very happy I didn't go through with the abortion because I already can't imagine my life without them.
This is my testimonial of the birth of my twins. You can see pictures on my profile page. Anyone else want to share their birth stories, feel free to do so here. Either way, I've started a new chapter in my life...Here we go!

haffo, piss off here, grow up, get a life...
... and then you may come back
... and then you may come back
Wow, cancerlady, their gorgeous looking wee babies, little miracles, you must be feeling amazingly proud right now, congratulations. 
Aww!
I'm so happy for you. And also so glad that twins don't run in my family so I don't have to give birth to two at once. I think I'd much prefer one at a time.
Oh and Haffo shut up. They weren't planing to have a baby it just happened and I'm pretty sure everyone would rather raise their kids in a nice stable family with two parents but it can't always happen can it.

Oh Cancerlady!!
They are very cute and precious! Congratulations to you- they are soo cute!(maternal feelings running amuck, lol). I really do hope all the best for you and them and as far as Mr. Pisces- remember no matter what he does or should I say dosen't do (which I hope isn't the case) you have many other people in your life that love and will stand by and who will love and protect and help the girls too
Love Always

"I need to ask where you do disagree?"
i disagree with your thoughtless random inappropriate insults. i disagree with your naive and immature perception of life. apart from that... that's it i think
if a woman only wants to use a man to get pregnant, then she sleeps with him, gets pregnant, breaks up with him, goes away and gives birth to her child(ren) and never tells the guy about it. that easy...
i don't think this is the case here!

Cancerlady....you did it kid! you did it! and the aquarian cuties are here....congrats. - you've made my day with those pics....and your account of the birth...well, it brings back memories:-)
As for Haffo, there are times to talk and times to be silent! Your silence would now be deeply appreciated by me and 99.9% of people on this board - if you can't say anything nice.....then just zip it!!!!:-) .... ooooh and as for we're gonna lose your respect...well, I think I for one, can just about get through my day without your "respect"!
This post is all about Cancerlady and happy speak, happy talk....it's not about YOU and your negative remarks....believe it or believe it not!!
Once again CL - you look terrific and so do the babes:-)

You guys are so great...well with the exception of one...
There is NOTHING that can steal my joy so you can rest assured that I realize his tactics to get attention. Let's all ignore him, it will piss him off more!
Being a mother is great, even though sleep is a thing of the past LOL!
Miesha is Aqua, Gemini rising (Busy body baby)
Kioni is Aqua, Cancer rising (Calmer baby)
I love them, love them, love them!

Oh yeah...did I mention
I went from 218lbs to 170 in one week! Only about 10 more lbs to lose! No post-pregnancy fatness for me...
Eating healthy and excercising when you are pregnant pays of big time...
Oh and my boobs....WOW! Can you say D? I am considering implants...cruel evil trick God plays on small breasted women. Give them to you then take them away LOL

They look just like you, C-Lady. It's uncanny, the resemblance. Are you sure that there was a man involved in thier making? Well, we know what the two ladies are going to look like 20 years from now. Hot, just like their momma !!!!
I'm fine Tiamat. Been gone for a while, trying to get myself together. Don't know if I got anywhere different, but, I tried. The grandbaby is doing great. He's growing so fast - almost 9 months old now. Seeing how precious C-Lady's angels are - I want to have one too. I guess all us girls are thinking the same thing. Our instincts kicking in and wanting little ones of our own.
How have you been?

DAEMON! I MISSED YOU! Where you been?
P-Angel...Actually Miesha looks alot like her dad. She has his nose and makes the same face when she is irritated. It is funny, I just laugh at her! Kioni looks alot like me when I was a baby. I was looking at my baby pics the other day, I was a big-headed baby! LOL

Congrats Cancerlady! They're super cute and they DO look like you :O
You'll made a wonderful mommy !!!
I too have heard that 'baby' talk is no good and reading to them is VERY good and when they're old enough to read... make them read a little everyday. I forced my little brother to read when he was younger and I think it paid off, he's a little smart-ass... the good news is that you as a mom can do it non-threateningly.
Anywho, Good Luck and keep us updated

Big congratulation from down under CL!!
Now the real fun begins....
Yeah,you don't want them to have an edumacation like me
Basically if they have the words formed properly around them all the time it'll be easier for them to speak it properly when they get to the point that they try to talk.Less chance of them having to take speech class when they hit school.

I think baby talk is stupid anyway...I never got the point of it. Goo goo, gaga, DUMB!
I might as well have them watch Teletubbies if I want them to be blithering idiots! Since I learned to read at four, I am doing things my mother did like repeating the alphabet to them at least once a day. When they get a bit older, I will start reading to them. Can't hurt!
The only thing is that I TOTALLY SUCK at math and am only okay at sciences...which is important also. I guess I'll figure that out as we go...

Hi all.
I'm new to this message board, and I have a question for all of you, scorpios.
It is the sarcasm, a natural trait in male scorpios, or something must have triggered it?!
Thank you
