Doctor delivers twins just hours after giving birth herself
by Kelly Wilbanks posted in Parenting
Just 11 months ago I gave birth to my baby at Virginia Mason Memorial Hospital. I can picture the room, the hospital walls, and the nursing station precisely. I might have even had the same room as Dr. Hilary Conway or her patient, Katie.
Dr. Conway (Hilary) recently made headlines when the ob-gyn delivered twins at Virginia Mason just hours after giving birth to her own daughter there in a stream of unplanned, uncoordinated, but perfectly timed events.
Katie wasn't just any patient. She's a patient who'd worked with Hilary to become pregnant -- meaning they'd been through a few milestones together already. Both of them were hoping Katie would go into spontaneous labor before Hilary's induction date of 12/12. They both expressed sadness at their last appointment that Hilary would probably not be there for the delivery. Katie's care was transferred and she was set to have an appointment with a new provider the day after Hilary's induction. She missed that appointment because, in the wee hours of the morning, she went into labor. In her hospital room, recovering from her own delivery and nursing her daughter, Hilary saw a text from Katie. She texted back to see if Katie had been admitted, but didn't get a response. Katie was a little busy.
With her newborn, Verna, sweetly sleeping after her night feeding, Hilary went to the nurse's station to investigate. She found out that Katie had been admitted in the room right next to hers...
