1 Mom Opened Up About Giving Birth to Twins With Down Syndrome, and It's Powerful

While Rachael made it through the delivery process, it wasn't without challenges.

"It differed from my first two labors in that the hospital we chose had to have a NICU and that my labor was induced," Rachael said. "We felt blessed to deliver naturally with no complications. The girls arrived two minutes apart. They were then whisked away to the NICU for oxygen. I mourned not having those first moments of skin-to-skin or being able to nurse right after. Shortly after, I hemorrhaged, keeping me from seeing them even longer."
