Weekend Movies: Multiple Organisms

In case you haven't heard, a mother in Atlanta recently had a wonderful VBAC of triplets! Doulamomma reports:
The details are just coming out about this VBAC but apparently the woman had her triplets in a hospital attended by Dr. Tate. I am assuming she went natural, as in unmedicated, as that’s generally the way with a VBAC with Dr. Tate. From what I am reading so far, the first two babies were head down and the third was footling breech. Here are the babies stats according to the ICAN of Atlanta chapter posting.
3 girls, all vaginal, all Apgar 8/9.

A= 4# 6oz, 18.25in @ 10:24pm, vertex.
B= 6# 4oz, 18.25in @ 10:37pm, vertex.
c= 3# 11oz, 16.5in @ 10:39pm, double footling breech extraction.

All three babies are successfully breastfeeding as well.

What an amazing day for this mother, her family, Dr. Tate and the VBAC world as a whole!
Yes, yes, yes!

Great Apgars, all breastfeeding, with a fantastic doctor? I say THREE CHEERS are in order! (Ms. Unnecesarean resisted, but I shan't.)

In honor of this blessed event, I present this:



Congratulations to ALL these mamas!
