pregnant with twins and having so many complicatio

I'm 24 weeks pregnant with twins and I've been having so many complications its unreal, for starters at 16 weeks I had to have a cerclage placed in my cervix (stitches due to shorten cervix) and told to stay on bed rest with a 8 and 2 year old then it seems like frrom there i've been in the hospital every week since then. my cervix shortened half the size it was when they placed the stiches in and to make matters even worse last monday after goin to the doctor's office to find out that they wanted to place me on hospital bedrest I come home to try and get myself situated for a couple weeks of hospital bedrest

then my sak reptures on one of the babys so now I have very low fluid on baby a, and its still leaking i'm just wondering if there is someone out there that has experienced being pregnant with twins and having one of the baby sacs rupture

if so I just want a little insight on your situation item seems like the doctors can't tell me anything

thanks

I JUST KNEW IT

I AM A YOUNG MOTHER OF THREE BOYS. WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH EACH OF THEM I WAS ABLE TO FIT INTO MY SIZE 1 JEANS UNTIL AROUND 5 MONTHS. DURING ALL OF MY PREGNANCIES I WAS LOADED WITH ENERGY THROUGH THE WHOLE 9 MONTHS. I NEVER ONCE HAD MORNING SICKNESS WITH ANY OF THEM.

I AM NOW PROUD TO BE 4 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWINS. WHEN I WAS 7 WEEKS I KNEW I WAS PREGNANT. I WAS VERY TIRED. I HAD HAD A FEW MORNINGS OF MILD SICKNESS. MY BELLY HAD ALREADY SWOLLEN A BIT AND I COULDNT FIT INTO ANY JEANS. MY BREASTS HAD SWOLLEN. AND THIS WAS ALL JUST AT 7 WEEKS.

I QUESTIONED MY DOCTOR ABOUT MY DUE DATE AND ALSO ASKED IF I MIGHT BE HAVING TWINS. SHE ASSURED ME THERE WAS ONLY ONE FETUS UNTIL ABOUT MY 4TH VISIT TO HER. I KNEW I WAS RIGHT. AT ABOUT 6 MONTHS PREGNANY WITH EACH OF MY OTHER CHILDREN IS HOW I LOOK NOW AT 4 MONTHS. THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FOR ME. BUT I COULDNT BE HAPPIER.

Suprised..

I am 19 years old and I got married when I was 18. People will say that that's too young and what not. But you just know when he's the one. So we've been together for over 2 years and married for a year. After we got married we decided to start trying for a baby. We both love kids and he has 10 siblings.

So pretty close to a year later we found out I was pregnant, but by the time we found out I was pretty close to 3 months. I had been sick for the past 3 months but it wasn't too bad, it was your average flu feeling and my monthly thing I just wasn't paying attention. So on may 4th we took 2 home tests and they came back positive. Then right after went to the doctors and there test was also postive. We were so excited, especially since I was afraid I was never going to get pregnant.

But I did realize I was starting to show sooner then most women do for how far along I was. My husband always joked about maybe we are having twins, his parents joked about it etc. So then I went to my first doc. appointment and heard one heart beat. Then when I was 20 weeks I was scheduled for an ultra sound appointment because when they got my blood test results back I had a high level for down syndrome and spinal defects. So at the ultrasound they brought my husband in and said that the reason why those levels where so high was because not only was there one baby, but there was two.

I was in denial. I had said no your lying, and it can't be true. Then they showed me and there was definitly two babies in there. Moving around which by that time I could feel them moving. Found out we are having two boys. They can't tell if they are identical twins or not but they are going to treat them like they are. My intuition about having a boy was correct, but never thought there would be 2. I am very excited especially now you can feel them kick and my husband can feel them kick now.

My next ultra sound is on the 11th of august. I am very grateful for this blessing and hope things will go well.

Holding One and Two on the Way

I had my daughter August of 2001. In December 2001, I went through the ER because I hurt my back trying to break ice off the door of veh. They asked was I prego I said no, because I had just given birth 3 months ago. Well they did Preg test and told me I was. Well went in to see my OB and she told me it can't get that bad. I was like you can recover from a broken leg but carrying two babies in diapers at the same time. She sent me for an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't anything from my previous birth. The Sonogram Tech knew me and starting laughing. I said what's the joke, she replied how sweet you have two more to add to the family. I cried so hard, she had to run and get my doctor. I was already 5 weeks prego. I can truly say the pregnancy was very easy except for the fact I had to have a NST (Non Stress Test) done twice a week. Of course baby "B" was the busy bee. My doctor took me off work at 6 months because I had already dilated to 3cm. I was having contractions. They gave steriods to help strengthen my babies lungs. I went for a NST one morning and they were seeing contractions but I wasn't feeling a thing. I was transferred to another hospital that is when they told me I was in labor and had dilated to 7 cm.(still no labor pains) Baby "B" turned breech at the last minute and had to have a emergency "C-Sect. I had two handsome boys 4 6 and 4 11. They stayed in the NICU for 2 weeks and they came home together. So for 2 months all three of my babies are the same age. My daughter is 10 mths older then they are. My oldest is 8 years older than my daughter. They are some little buggers now. They stay in everything and of course Baby "B" still is the most active one.
