My goodness, this story has me crying - in a good way, because it could have been so much worse. I'm so glad everyone is doing at least as well as can be expected. It sounds like you had an amazing hospital with a lot of people who were really able to step up and help you and your family. And your babies, of course, are really freaking adorable.

[Peony]

Thank you for sharing. I am so happy everyone is doing ok, the babies are beautiful.

You babies are gorgeous

Annette, I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am for you right now! Happy that you're okay, that your babies are okay and that everyone was in all the right places at the right time. Now excuse me while I go wipe my tears...

Annettemarie, you are one of the strongest and bravest women I have ever read about, what an amazing birth story.

Thank you for writing that, I have been dealing with a lot of self imposed mama guilt myself and your bravery has encouraged me as well.  Thank you.

Totally speechless, and thrilled that you are healing, awed at your perspective, turned to lovey-dovey-mush over your beautiful babies, and thankful to the support/staff/heavens that helped get you all through this!

Annette,

Congrads on your new babies and I wish you a safe recovery.  Your story is amazing.  You are so blessed to have such a progressive LC working at the hospital. 

Hugs

[chrissy]

Oh Annette!!!!  Thank you so much for sharing your scary and amazing story.  I am so glad you are all okay.  

[lunarlady]

I, too, recently had severe PPH from the birth of my daughter. Reading your story made me remember how hard it was to be trying to recover my own health with a little one. Thank goodness you were where you needed to be. Sounds like the fates aligned to bring you to the right doctor, and the right LC, so you could have the best care possible. I hope you are being easy with yourself, both physically and emotionally, as you heal from a difficult birth.

[honeybee]

Thank you for sharing your story. So traumatic, and yet you were so blessed with all the right people there to help. I think we all need to hear about the good hospital staffs, going above and beyond, because so often we only hear the horror stories. I wish you healing, both physical and emotional.

I'm extra glad in ended so well in your case today, Anette, I just read a story about how it could have had a tragic ending, I had no idea it was that serious.

I'm so, so glad you are ok and at home with your babies!
