my luck

I was 13 yrs old when I came out pregnant with my twin girls. At that time I thought I was cool because I was dating an 18 yr old. Well I was wrong.

When I found out I was pregnant he disappeared; it is almost like earth swallowed him up for good. Well, I have been an early teenage parent ever since. I don’t hate him, I thank him for giving me my life, which is my girls.

I am now 18, finishing school, and my daughters are now 5 in kindergarten. I made it this far with my girls on my own, so can you. Don’t ever tell yourself you can’t. I now live in my own apartment. I work with the MRI and I am happily engaged to the man who took responsibility for a package that wasn’t his.

I am now pregnant and I know that I am prepared for whatever is put in front of me.

First ultrasound

I have three girls, the youngest of which was only six months when I found out I was going to have a fourth child. I didn't even feel pregnant, but my husband had been having dreams about babies, so I took a home test just to prove to him we were not having another. It turned out I was wrong.

I scheduled an appointment with an OBGYN. I haven't lived here for long, so this is my first pregnancy with this dr. I was informed that he likes to do an ultrasound on the first visit to make sure everything looks good. My husband then began to tell me that he was again having dreams. Of twins! Twins run in my family, but I never thought I would have them. My husband teased me everyday until my appointment. He called me from work that day as I was leaving to tell me good luck and not to be too upset if the dr. said it was twins. I laughed.

I arrived at the dr, who got me right in and began my ultrasound. I thought what I was seeing (as plain as day, even at eight weeks) was a trick of my mind, until the dr. said, "Do you see what I see?" and the nurse said "Oh, my goodness, we haven't had a set of twins since last year" I almost fainted.

I am now seven months and we know that we are having a boy and a girl. I thought I would be upset, but I couldn't possibly be happier!!!

my family......!!!!

When me and me husband found out I was pregnant in January 2006, we were delighted as we already had a little boy Dylan who was almost a year.

At 16 weeks I had my first scan and was shocked when the doctor told me I was having twins. I was thrilled as was my husband and son!!!

At my next scan I discovered it was not two babies it was three babies. I was gob-smacked; there was no pattern of triplets in my family or my husband’s but we knew our family would be complete with these babies

Then when I was 30 weeks pregnant, tragedy struck: my husband and son were killed in a car accident on the way home from the shop. I’ll never forget the day the guard came and told me that horrible news. Days passed in a blur and the funeral was torture for me as I felt my three babies move inside me as I laid my beautiful son and wonderful husband to rest. My family and my husband’s family rallied around me but the shock and strain put me into early labour at 33 weeks

The doctors had little hope for the babies but I willed them to fight. JJ (James Junior after my husband) was the first to be born weighing 2lb 4 oz; next was Emma, she was 2 lb 5 oz; and finally Chloe at 3lb. The two girls were pretty strong and caused few worries but JJ had breathing problems; thankfully he was fine after a few weeks too.

The kids are now 6 months old and JJ looks more and more like his brother and dad every day!!! The girls are pretty adventurous like their dad and brother.

I'm still lost without my husband and little boy but I just wanted to share my story to let everyone know that however tough things can get with multiple births things could always set worse for you!!!!!

Pregnant with 8 babies at the same time

I am pregnant with 8 babies in my uterus all at the same time.

I am very scared about labor and contractions and the pushing. I am almost 16 years old. I am also scared about my pregnancy.

I haven't told my parents yet about this because I do not know how they will react.

My Terrible Triplets

My name is Hollie and I am 28. I am married to my husband Cameron. We are truly happy. On our honeymoon we decided that we wouldn’t mind trying for a baby. We came home 2 weeks later and we started trying.

My sister is 5 years older than me so she is 33 and she has 2 children 2 beautiful daughters Sarah and Louise. I was around my brother Jerry's house to tell him about my and Cameron’s new house. We were going to buy when I had tummy pains and I was sick. When I got to my and Cameron's rented flat I had the urge to take the pregnancy test sitting in my bathroom cupboard. 10 min's later and I WAS pregnant. I was sick because I had morning sickness, I was so happy I ran into Cameron to tell him and he was so happy for me as well.

Three months passed and I was 4 months pregnant. The house that we were going for we had bought and moved into. We went for the first scan and they told us that we were having triplets. Cam was so exited but all I could think was oh my god this is unreal, but a few hours later I actually realized that I was having triplets.

My sister told me that I had to be really careful as triplets has to be hard. At 7 months I had to give birth as all three of the babies were too squashed. I gave birth to 1 girl and two boys, Cheryl, Calum, and Darcy. Three weeks later and we had terrible news; Calum had died. He died in cot death. Cameron was so upset he even wanted to kill himself. I went and lived with my sister and her daughters. I took Cheryl and Darcy with me. Two days later Cameron came around to my sister’s house and said that he wanted to carry on with his life...with me and the two children.

Now five years later Cheryl and Darcy are 5 and I am pregnant with another baby boy. Me and Cameron have decide to call him Calum Jr., at first we said that it may upset us calling him Calum, but then we wanted to call him that but just call him Jr. after his big brother.
