I will start by telling you that my first daughter was born premature due to toximia. she was born at 29 1/2 week and 2lb 10 oz. we spent only 42 days in the NICU. I felt like I had failed in a major way even if the doctors said it just happens some times. So finding out I was pregnant again when my daughter was 12months old was very scarry for me. My kidneys had failed during the first pregnancy and the doctors were very discouraging of me even trying to get pregnant. My first O.B. visit they scheduled the first ultrasound just because I was already high risk. My husband and I went the tech was very quiet, then she asked do twins run in your family. We looked at one another and said no. Why? ( I was thinking what a silly question.) The tech replied well they do now. No, thats not possible Is what I was thinking, how could this happen? My Doctor was very worried at First and told us " you were already high risk and then you decided to have twins" They found out I have a factor 5 gene factor that makes my blood clot abnormally so I take a shot of blood thiner twice a day untill this pregnancy is over. But guess what? with everything that could of went wrong nothing has yet. I am very blessed it looks as if we are going to go the full 37 weeks for twins. and have a wonderfull baby boy and Girl. I am passed where we had my daughter by a week and a half. so to all of you who think everything will go wrong try to stay positive it really helped me out.

Who would've known

I didn't think it would happen to me. I had finished my second round of clomid and was waiting to see if "my friend" was going to come. Well,...it never did. So I suspected that I was pregnant and I took a home test. It was negative. I was upset and confused thinking this was going to be the month. Well another week went by and I just figured that I'll take another one "JUST IN CASE" before I started my third round on that following Monday.
It was positive. I was so confused I went to the store and bought another one! Positive again. Well a few weeks went by and I started getting these really bad pains that would come and go near my groin area. I was scared and went to the Emergency Room. Well they ran all the normal tests and comes to find out I'm having twins!
What a blessing! After having a miscarriage last November I was so shocked that I was blessed with two!

Pregant with twins. What a surpise! On Sept of 2005, I found out that i was pregnant and to make my sad story short on January 17th ,2006 I was 18 1/2 weeks pregnant with a baby girl when I had stillbirth.

I had never had a m/c or a stillbirth. Going through the motion of labor and bringing my baby girl home was the hardest thing I had to ever go through. I still mourn her. And I know she is waiting for me in heaven where she is in a tucked in place.

Five months later I find out I am pregnant with a home pregnancy test. Having a history of a stillbirth I went to my Dr., because I was having sharp abdominal pain on my left side. He then made an appointment for an ultrasound. As i lay on the bed having my ultrasound , I was waiting for the worst, I was thinking I was having an ectopic pregnancy due to the my history.

Then she told me Mam, you have two sacs, you are having twins! I am like I asure you that I am pregnat but not having twins. She then said mam I have been doing this for 12 years, you are definetely having twins. I asked over and over and over just to make sure. I was happy,elated,estati,you name it that what I was.

Four months later I am 16 weeks and 5 days pregnat with identical twins.I have been tired,I have had severe nausea,vomiting,constipation. Side abdomianl pains.I get extremely tired when I walk,get in the car.I really feel the difference between a singleton baby and a multiple baby.

With all that I have been through the Lord has blessed me with two babies.

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

Ongelee
