A Visit with my Midwifery Team

Before everything went from normal twin complicated to disaster, I was under the care of the same midwives who supported me through my first pregnancy and delivery. They have been such a wonderful source of information and support. Despite the fact that my care has been transferred to a specialist, they pop in periodically to check on me. Yesterday was one such day. 

I share this because we listened to the babies' hearts and movements. Actually we had finished listening and then my sister came in shortly thereafter and asked to hear as well. When S touched my belly and put the doppler back on me, she laughed and noticed that Baby B had moved away. As she tried to find the heartbeat again the baby kept kicking the doppler. Baby A scooted away each time she applied any pressure. My sister, S, and I all laughed. It was a fun moment in which we can feel that we know the babies a little bit better. 

Thank you, S. (And K, even though she was not there today!).
