In addition to a hospital bag...

I suggest putting aside clothes for you and DH and some snacks, water and advil for DH. I wish I had when we were both scrambling to get dressed last night at 11:45 to go to L&D. I really thought they were coming last night. Poor DH had a poinding headache and went to sleep in his car from 1am-4am.

Everything is fine. I had contractions and they stopped them with a shot. They didn't feel the need to give me the steroid shot for the babies.

5 more weeks, babies! Stay in for 5 more weeks!! Chat Icon

So glad to hear that all is well with you and the twins! It must've been a scary night for you and DH. Chat Icon

Thanks for the tip. At our hospital tour they actually suggested doing a separate small bag for L&D.

I never made it to the hospital tour. I was supposed to go last week for the tour and c/s class but I was on bedrest. I can really do without watching the c/s video though. I don't need a visual of what's going on when I'm on the table lol

Im doing ok, thanks! Aside from being exhausted because I got home a 4:20 and got up for work at 7:45. I'll take a nap on lunch. There was no way to sleep while there. I'm just glad the babies are staying put for now! Ticking time bomb, I tell ya! Chat Icon

I can definitely understand your point about the video,ha! Besides, think of how many women go in thinking they're not having a c/s and wind up with 1 - they make it through fine w/out the video.

The most helpful part of the tour was just seeing where to go, so the positive of last night is that you accomplished that! Chat Icon

Hang in there !

This was my second visit. I'm a pro by now lol Ive only been to the "holding pen" though. I think the actual delivery rooms and ORs are down the hall. I'm sure if I show up they will tell me where to go.

Glad you are ok and YES packing you Dh some extra clothes is a great idea. We did it with this baby, but not with the first and Dh was at work when I went into labor. He is a mechanic and arrived smelling like oil and grease. Thankfully, my mom ran home and got him some clothes.
