My first twin delivery

During this holiday seasons, I am reminded of the twin babies that I delivered 7 years ago. I wonder how they are doing. I hope they grew up well and in good health. It was a surprise twins. Actually, the day before the patient was in labor I did her prenatal exams and found out that her fundic height is much larger than her Age of Gestation. I referred her for an ultrasound to confirm my suspicion. Due to lack of financial resources, she did not have one. So when she came in labor, I thought that she only has one big baby inside her. She denied to have history of twins in her or her husband's family. I was so surprised when the baby came out very small. I suddenly looked at the tummy, it was still very big. So I did an IE and there was another baby. The second baby came out after 20 minutes. We did resuscitated them both but they recovered very well. To God be the glory. Everything went well.
