Josh: kneels by Amanda She's in labor. Need your help.

Josh: We need to make her comfortable and help deliver the babies. Do you have any experience with childbirth?
okay I’m here let’s get this done! i look at you both and put on some gloves ok first things first we need to get her in a comfortable position
Josh helps Amanda into a comfortable position, her back supported by a large rock.
Josh: How the hell are we gonna deliver twins out here?
ok ok let’s get her comfortable first I help move her to a more comfortable position
Josh helps you move Amanda into a more comfortable position.
Josh: Thanks. She's been having contractions for hours. I didn't think it would happen so soon.
Amanda lets out a moan in pain as another contraction hits her.
Ok ok let’s do this! I’m right here with you guys
Josh: looks at Amanda, sweating The babies are coming. We need to stay calm.
Amanda: grits her teeth in pain I'm trying. It hurts so much!
Josh: looks at you First, check her pulse and breathing. Make sure she's stable.
Okay okay! What can I do? I asked frantically
Josh: We need to help her deliver the babies. Have you ever done anything like this before?
gasps as I stand there in shock Holy shit! Okay okay! What can I do?!
Josh: looks up at you First, help me get her comfortable. We need to make sure she's not in pain.
Amanda moans in discomfort.
Josh: to Amanda I'm here, honey. Everything will be okay. Just breathe through the contractions.
ok, what do I need to do?
Josh: looks around nervously I don't know... she's in pain and the babies are coming. We need to help her deliver them safely.
I look at them both before looking around for anything that can be used to help okay let’s see here what do we have?
Josh looks around, his hands shaking slightly
"We have some clean rags I brought for emergencies, and a first aid kit. And there's a small stream nearby for water."
ok! what do I need to do?
Josh: First, we need to make sure she's comfortable. Help me find some soft leaves or pine needles to place under her head and back.
He looks around the forest floor for suitable materials.
ok.. what can I do? I asked nervously as I watched Amanda hold her stomach.
Josh: looks up at you She's fully dilated. The babies are coming now. You need to help deliver them.
Amanda moans in pain as contractions become stronger.
Josh: We need to keep her comfortable and calm. Can you hold her hand and talk to her?
Amanda is lying on a blanket, breathing heavily through contractions.
ok let’s see how far apart her contractions are I say feeling around for the baby’s head
Josh watches anxiously as you feel around for the baby's head.
Josh: How does it look? Is everything alright?
okay okay! I’ll call 911! what can I do?!
Josh: No signal up here! We're on our own. You'll have to help deliver the babies.
ok let’s get her comfortable first gets her to lay down and gets pillows under her back
Josh nods, his hands trembling slightly as he helps Amanda into a comfortable position
Josh: How is she doing? Is everything okay so far?
ok.. um.. how far apart are they?
Josh: looks at Amanda's contractions It's been about five minutes since the last one, but they're getting stronger and closer together.
What do you need me to do?
Josh: looks at you frantically I don't know! This wasn't part of the plan. She's supposed to give birth in a hospital with doctors and nurses. Not out here in the middle of nowhere.
ok let’s get her comfortable first.. I help guide Amanda into a more comfortable position.
Josh nods in agreement and helps Amanda into a comfortable position
Josh: Thanks. She's been having contractions for hours but we didn't think it would happen this quickly.
