"Birthing Experience"

This year, I attended the Positive Ceaserian Course that you held at BRH.

I wanted to let you know that I found it very informative, and it gave me some wonderful ideas to include in my birth preferences. 

After leaving that day, @35+1w,  I had a very quiet day (for once) for the remainder of it.

I went and collected my toddler from daycare at around 5:30, and on the way home I felt a huge amount of pressure and some tightening started.

I presumed it was Braxton Hicks and I monitored it for the evening. I went and lay in bed at around 9, and it didn't subside! I called maternity at BRH, and told them what was happening and they advised I should go in for CTG.

I initially presented to Margaret River where I was put on the CTG (Cardiotocography) monitor, this confirmed I was having contractions. 

I was transferred to Bunbury via ambulance, and there I stayed until the twins were delivered on their scheduled date. My section was wonderful. 

I could not have been happier with how everything went that day.

I had written my birth preferences, and everyone that was in theatre that day did all they could to grant them. The twins were born alert and required no help breathing, or with feeding. 

I was in hospital for 19 days altogether and I honestly can't thank everyone enough for the care that I was given. The doctors, midwives and the ancillary staff were all beautiful. 

I miss all of them, and once Rona goes, I will be up with the twins!

The anaesthetist I had was the same man (Ivan) I had with my first, and again, he was wonderful and took photos of our twins being born.

When I was in, I did see posters with how to provide "gifts", but have forgotten what to do. Could you please advise me how I go about this?
