I am beginning to realize how grateful i should have been last year when my girls pushed there kids out without minuets of first pushing.
Poor girl is still pushing, things are becoming a bit more serious now so fingers crossed she has them soon!

Yup, I have read far to many horror stories of moms getting mastitis to trust any other method. *shes pushing good so im going to cut this reply short..*

Well that was certainly anything but uneventful!
I always sit in the pen with them just in case. Night-light was pushing, and pushing, and pushing...She passed the water, followed by a pair of hooves. She kept pushing, but after a while nothing happened. I went over, felt around, felt the head and two hooves, so I grabbed the hooves and gently helped her as she pushed...only to realize that the hooves i was helping pull out were hind legs. The head was not his!
The boy was breach and trying to come out at the same time as his sister. His water broke, and I couldn't push the sister back without bursting hers, so I pushed his legs back in, let the sister come out *thankfully it was quick* and I threw her to my room mate before diving in to try and rotate the boy. He would not turn! So I just grabbed his hooves and pulled him out breach.
For some reason i knew there were going to be complications. I just knew it! So i read up in advance on what to do if you deliver a breach.
I wrapped him in a blanket, grabbed his hooves and gently swung him until the fluid came out.
It took him a little bit longer then his sister, but he cried and came around! Yay!
Night-light successfully delivered twins, one boy, one girl just like i was hoping for!
Both are alive, both are eating and both are very healthy
I will post pictures as soon as we are done feeding them.
