Most of you know that I have struggled and still do struggle, to come to terms with having twins because I was on the pill when I got pregnant, we only wanted to have one child and I have Hyperemesis Gravidarum so the pregnancy has been hell and I still don't feel excited about the babies or attached to them at all really.

I have also been bummed that my plans of delivering in a birth center couldn't happen because they would no longer accept me because of the twins so I was trying to deal with the fact that so many choices had been taken away from me.

Well, I was talking to someone earlier and she said how she had her child in a birth center, the one she delivered at had an on call OB that would assist with the slightly higher risk patients.

So I did some googling and I found a birth center not far from me which has three OBs that are on call for the higher risk patients and they are willing to work with me to attempt to have the twins not only vaginally but naturally too!

I am so excited!

I just feel so happy that I can at least attempt a natural vaginal birth, it is like for the first time in my pregnancy I am getting a choice back that was taken away from me.

We have also decided to hire a Doula, I think with twins, I will need all of the support I can get! The one I am leaning towards also does private breastfeeding classes and private birthing classes so I am excited about that too!

Just thought i'd share since most of the topics I start are usually about me complaining about my HG so I wanted to have a positive post for once!

Thanks for reading!

That is wonderful news that you have the option to deliver at a birth centre! And how cool you have found a doula that does all those things. Doula's aren't common in New Zealand and I really wish they were.

Awesome news! I totally understand what you are feeling about having choices taken away. It's a hard thing to deal with.

Great idea about the doula, you will NOT regret hiring one, they are so amazing for both you and your husband!
