I'm probably off by now, but I recall our OB-GYN, an assisting OB, a resident doctor, V's anesthesiologist, and two neonatologists as the doctors in the room. Each twin had two techs, if I recall right, then two or three nurses for the delivery proper.

They took Ana into the next room quickly, after lowering her enough for us (or me at least) to see her. Dorothy came pretty fast and her kick to the cord was pretty surprising. I wouldn't say anyone panicked, but everyone got their game faces on very quickly. After seeing four vaginal births by that time, there was a considerable amount of blood after Dorothy was born. I won't get in more detail, but it was quite notable to me.

After they virtually threw Dorothy on V, her team took her pretty quickly into the next room to be accessed. Shortly after they stabilized the situation with V, they brought Ana in to be held by V. Then Dorothy came and I took Ana for a few seconds. By then, they were in an transport incubator.

As we've done with our other kids, I left V alone to stay with them. We don't actually expect anything to happen, but the last thing we want to let them out of our sights. We took the elevator up to the 8th floor where they finished their intake, gave them IVs, and the rest of it.

They were big and healthy in terms of NICU intakes, so it helped (me at least, since V wasn't there), to see how obviously comfortable the neonatologist was with the twins' situation. Near the end, he took our camera so I could be in a couple of the pictures with the girls. I doubt he would have done that if our girls were in any trouble 😀.
