Designer, two children Eighteen weeks was supposed to be the first scan, but then I was two weeks’ late, so at 20 weeks, I was told there were two babies in there. I cried for 10 days. I’m quite an organised person — every single plan was out the window. I went in at 9am and was induced, then at 5pm they whipped me up to the operating room for a caesarean. The next thing I remember was being handed the twins, then being whipped away to the recovery room. Eventually I was taken back to the ward, where I fell asleep. I slept the whole night, and woke up the next morning in a blind panic. I was like, “where are my babies?”, leaping out of the bed. I was pointed in the direction of the nursery, and I went down to a chorus of nurses saying, “oh, here’s mum now, dad’s been fantastic”.
