Modern Birth Experience at Mills-Peninsula
Janine and Scott Axe got to know their twins Guillermo John and Gregory James before they were born.
“We had already named them and knew who was who when we saw them in the ultrasound,” Scott said.
Yet, when Janine had a Cesarean section, the babies may have come in reverse of the predicted order, Janine explained.
“Greg was probably supposed to be Guillermo.”
