Just delivered triplets
for my neighbor.
She called last night at 11 and said she thought one might be having trouble but she would call if she needed me. My hands are small & she couldn't get hers in to do anything. This morning at 5:15 she called. She came to get me as the roads were bad. The first kid was presenting back first! That yearling doe was so small. I felt so sorry for the mom. All three are alive, but the first one isn't moving as much as I would like. But at this point I think we are very lucky that mom & babies are just alive.
Next time, go with my gut & after 2 ours of labor, CHECK to see if they are turned sideways!!!! And if you have to pull a secod or third baby, get ahold of the BACK legs. The head on the third one wouldn't stay in position & turned back off to the side. My neighbor, whose hands weren't so slippery, finally just pulled it that way. Rear legs first would have been much better.
There is NO rush like delivering kids & getting them all out safely!
