## Caption

I’ve always gone into spontaneous labor.

Thea at 40 weeks.
Nathan at 41.
Zoe at 41+4…
(where one castor oil smoothie + membrane sweep sent me into transition and she was born in under 2 hours).

So I assumed it would happen again.

But with the twins?

I was 38 weeks + 5 days and 7 cm dilated with no contractions.

Just weeks of prodromal labor and a body that was clearly ready but not actually going.

And because I wanted my home birth, I needed to help things along.

So I tried everything:

Castor oil smoothie → nothing
Second smoothie → still nothing
Membrane sweep → now 8 cm but still no active labor

At that point, we made the call to break baby A’s waters.

And ✨ finally ✨ my body kicked into gear.

5 hours later, both boys were in my arms.

And fun fact? Dash was born in his bag of waters!
