Joy Times Four
One Mom's Story of Delivering Quadruplets
By Teri Brown
Through the support of her friends and family, she was able to make it through that trying time. Her mom arrived to be with her, and her former employer brought her a laptop computer so she could keep up with her e-mail and her new multiple-mom friends. And as it turned out, Christina was getting so large that it wasn't very long before she didn't want to get out of bed anyway. "I was completely exhausted walking to the bathroom and back," she says. "But what kept me going every day was that I knew that one more day in my belly kept the babies out of the NICU for three days."
"About 2 p.m. they carted me down to Labor and Delivery," Christina says. "I was still at 2 centimeters, but the doctor said to get Patrick on his way, because once it started to move, it would be very fast. An hour later they checked me, and I was 4 centimeters and the doctor could feel a bulging sac. The good news was that this time it was for real; the bad news was that the babies were coming now, no time to wait for Patrick."
