My Twin Birth Story (30+ hours of labor and pre-eclampsia)

Thank you so much for being here to hear my raw and honest birth story! My labor and delivery was nothing like I pictured it would be, but I truly would not change it for the world. It was the hardest, most intense thing I've ever been through, but it brought me my beautiful sons Dominic and Leo! Thanks for letting me share my story of such a special and personal moment with you all!

    Kath in the future, pls know you can dismiss a nurse. You do not and should not have to put up with a mean spirited nurse. You have the right to be treated with dignity and care - just like advocating during the birth, if you are ever in the hospital again pls know you have the right to get the charge nurse/nurse manger and ask for a new nurse/remove a nurse from your Case. ❤️❤️

    THIS!! I'm an nurse practitioner now but when I worked as an RN there were a couple of times I had to remove a nurse from a patients case. It's hard to advocate for yourself in that way but I encourage everyone to feel empowered to do so

    Thank you! I am ttc and was wondering about this as I also had a nurse that acted very weird towards me after a previous birth. She was really super edgy and was telling me how awful her birth experience was and I just really didn't feel I could trust her with my baby. Like she was taking her life's problems out on me. My husband noticed it plain as day too. Luckily we only had her for short while. Thank you guys for the info!

    As a nurse it makes me sad that you had that experience. You went through such a traumatic birth, and as short staffed and burnt out as nurses are right now they should not make you feel that way, especially when you’re feeling your worst. I’m glad you are feeling better and admire your strength😊

    Thank you for saying that Elle!! That being said.. I should’ve mentioned (but it got lost in the endless details of my story) how incredible most of the nurses we had were.. I might have mentioned that at one point in the video, but we had some truly lovely nurses and for that I am so grateful!! It’s such a vulnerable time.

    This makes me understand my mother’s pregnancy journey and the emotions she went through so much more. She also had very high blood pressure and preeclampsia, and I was born 12 weeks (3 months) premature at 525 grams (just over 1 pound). Listening to you tell your story makes me realize a bit more of how she must have felt those months that I was in hospital and how proud I know she is of me for surviving my difficult birth.

    I do think this story could be triggering for Colleen, both births were pretty different, and babies in the NiCU in one case. I do understand the intention though, but I wanted to put that out there... Colleen didn't get to deliver them and have them on her right away, so I'm not sure is good timing when she won't be able ti bring them home for a while Both traumatic, but very different

    I would love a video about journaling tips from you. I feel like you're a really good writer and very experienced with different types of journaling. Maybe you could talk about what to write, when you don't really know what to write, how to journal when you don't have much time but still want to keep doing it, you're experiences with different types of it (pregnancy journal, "normal" journal, maybe songwriting/faith or whatever you've done),... I would highly appreciate it. Btw you can be really proud of you for having it made through the birth of your sons and I'm sure it helps many people to hear your story. You're so brave and Leo and Domenic are very blessed to have you as their mother. ❤️

Watching you and your sisters' birth story videos has made me realize just how much better we need to do as a society in informing women (and men) about the risks of pregnancy and childbirth so everyone can prepare better, especially mentally and emotionally. There is so much we aren't told, like about delivering twins in an operating room! I can only imagine how scary that must have been. I commend you for wanting to give birth unmedicated, but proud of you for doing what you needed to do in a difficult and scary situation. That takes real courage and strength, and even more courage to share your story with strangers so openly. Sending love from Canada

One is my niece. My sister had pre- eclampsia as well as you and she ended up with c- section. The second birth was my nephew which he didn´t survive because placental abrubtion at 37 week which happend at their home. They rushed to the hospital, had to do emergency c-section and my nephew didn´t survive. They told my sister that he could have survive if they do that in less than 5 minutes which not always help (maybe he wouldn´t survive even if they were in that hospital when that happend). My sister almost died there too. She lost 1,5 litres of blood. I am happy for your two beautiful sons. They have wonderful parents.

    I am pre-eclampsia mom myself. Mine set in very quickly at 28 weeks and my daughter was delivered very quickly via emergency c-section. I am right there with you about the feeling alone. It was so difficult for me. My daughter ended up spending 79 days in the NICU and that was the most difficult time in my life. I sobbed so much the day I got discharged from the hospital and she didn't. I spent so much time at the hospital which was an hour away from our house. She just turned one last weekend she's healthy but very small. She's my fighter and my rock star. God taught me so many things during that time. I'm so glad your babies are happy and healthy and you too momma. I'm currently excepting my second due in Feb. After you have pre-eclampsia your risk of getting again goes up. So I'm considered high risk for this pregnancy. Praying for healthy baby and momma. Thank you for sharing your story.

    I could relate to Soo Much of what you experienced! I have an almost 8 month old son, and my labor and delivery experience was hard terrifying but at the end of it all made me feel so much stronger. Made me look up to the women in my family and out in the world so much more. I’m glad at the end of it all you and your sons are healthy!

    My birth didn't go as planned either. I had a 30 hour labor (induction) that ended up a vacuum extraction on the operating room table, and postpartum preeclampsia as well...I was flagged at 32 weeks for preeclampsia and monitored for a few weeks. We were discharged and that night I ended up back in the hospital, but with Covid wasn't able to bring my baby back into the hospital so I had to pump and my husband took care of our newborn. It was the hardest days of my entire life. I'm so glad you're okay ❤️

    As a fellow Catholic mama, this was one of the most beautiful and inspiring birth stories I’ve heard, and I’ve heard a lot! Tears filled my eyes when you described the feelings of abandonment you experienced, and they completely spilled over when you made the comparison between those feelings you had and the feelings of Jesus in the garden. I’m so grateful that there are people like you who are bold in their faith and willing to share such a personal experience in such an honest way. You are an inspiration, and I hope that the many young girls out there who look up to you as a musician will also follow your example of character and faith. Thank you for sharing!

    Congrats on your babies! Thanks for sharing! Especially, your intimate moment with Christ. I had preeclampsia too at my baby's birth, so I prayed the rosary and chaplet in my head during it all. Our little miracle was in the NICU for 3 weeks, but out now. God is good.

    I also had a completely normal, healthy pregnancy up until 37 weeks! I was planning on having a home birth, but ended up having hypertension suddenly at 37 weeks which disqualifies me for a home birth. I had a vaginal hospital birth but i needed to be induced due to the hypertension and the pitocin made it too painful to go all the way unmedicated like i had hoped for. I got the epidural when I am assuming I was about 7-8cm dilated and had her an hour later. Overall, a pretty smooth birth, but i still mourn the loss of my home birth. It feels silly to say I have "trauma" from the pain of the pitocin contractions and the fact that my birth plan changed and turned urgent in a matter of 12 hours, but I have been wanting to film a birth story cause I feel like having my birth story out there will heal me somehow. My daughter is 9 months old, so its a little late but i might still do it .
