“From nausea to nerves, my twin pregnancy was a rollercoaster, but I was determined to stay positive and tried to embrace every moment! I started listening to the Christian Hypnobirthing tracks [Try the app FREE for a week] at 8 weeks to help me navigate the discomforts of pregnancy & prepare me mentally for birth.
Fast forward to 36 weeks + 5 days and my water broke with baby A at 3 AM on November 1st.
By 9 AM, contractions hit HARD and fast—nothing like the gradual buildup I expected! I remember looking at my support team and saying, “This is happening quickly, right?!” I tried staying grounded with deep breaths, low moaning sounds, my birthing comb, and LOTS of support from my incredible team. At 6 cm, I started doubting myself and seriously considered an epidural, but my husband reminded me of my goal: to experience this birth fully and without numbing. From that point on, I focused on getting through each surge by trying to release any tension and surrendering to the pain. I can vividly recall saying “Jesus help me” through many of those final moments.
Around 1:30 PM, I was already at 9cm, and before I knew it we were rolling into the OR. By 2:35 PM, Baby A was born & my husband got to cut her cord after delayed cord clamping.
Baby B’s water bag broke about 10 minutes after baby A came out and within 5 minutes and maybe two contractions later, she was out head first! And to my surprise I was able to cut her cord!
Also, I had two placentas but they seemed to share a wall and looked merged together. That’s why I included that picture. The doctor and staff were amazed at how big it was!
After 2 quick hours in the NICU for monitoring, I was reunited with my babies for some beautiful skin-to-skin time.
The journey was intense, but it was also empowering, beautiful, and beyond worth it.
This was my first birth. The Christian Hypnobirthing tracks plus the Faith-Filled Childbirth course really helped me feel equipped and well informed.
I feel so grateful for a positive, unmedicated twin birth & it reminded me how strong and capable we all are.” - @jessicaellenoz
