2nd Set Of Twins (Jamie + Fionna) Birth Story- Part 2 We're Having Our Babies

Part 2 of Jamie and Fionna's Birth Story

I woke up the next morning feeling very nauseas.  My braxton hicks contractions seemed to be a little more intense as well.  I got out of bed and went about my normal routine of getting coffee and reading but I felt so nauseas and threw up. I had no signs of being sick like a fever or anything like that so I assumed the vomiting had to do with pregnancy and that maybe I was just having an off day.  The nausea continued though throughout the morning after the kids were up.  As we were getting ready for the day, I threw up several times. 

I told my husband about it when he got up.  He planned on staying home but I told him to go to work because I didn't feel like I was in labor.  My contractions were not really any different than they had been for weeks.  He felt I was in transition though because the only time I have ever thrown up during the end of a pregnancy is when I am getting close to the end of labor and nearing delivery.  That made him really nervous.  I assured him I was going to be fine and to please go to work.  

Soon after he left though, I threw up once or twice more and just really didn't feel well.  I called him and told him that it would probably be best if he just turned around and came home.  We talked when he got back home and I decided to go ahead and call my midwife and try to get an appointment.  

I got an appointment for 12pm that day which was just 1.5 hours from when I called in. We rushed to get everyone together and in the van to make it to my appointment on time. 

When I got there, my midwife was unavailable since she was delivering a baby but one of the doctors saw me.  She did an ultrasound and said the babies looked great but didn't feel the need to check me because clearly I wasn't in labor.
