TRIPLETS...


I'm 18. Almost 2 years ago I met my soulmate. Some people will say "you're only 18, you don't even know what that is." They're wrong. We fell completely in love, and decided we'll get married one day, but we want children, and we want them to be in our wedding.

I was on the depo shot at that time for about 5 months. When we decided we wanted to try and get pregnant, i got off the shot, and 3 months later, it happened. Twins run in my family, they said that i'm the next to have them, it skips a geneeration or something. They told me that, but I didn't expect to have them, although twins run in the family. Usually its woman over 35 having multiples because of fertility treaments, but not in my case.

I went to my first ultra sound. She looked around for a little while, then pointed the screen to where the father, my mother, and I were in the room. She was quiet then said "there's more than one." My mother jumped up and down, i looked at my boyfriend and said "awwww twins!!!"

That's when she said "I didn't say twins." Then she told me there were 3!!!!! At first I think i almost fell off the ultrasound bed! im very small, 5' weighing 102lbs! I was thinking "where am I going to fit TRIPLETS inside of me?"

But that was a surprise of a lifetime, and a very rare one the doctor told me. I call them our miracle babies! And that's my story! I cannot wait until the day they're born!

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

My Twins

It was my first pregnancy and I was a bit apprehensive of what lay ahead...so when I started to bleed at 3 months I really thought it was a miscarriage, but to my delight, I was told I was having twins!!! I didn't really have time to feel shocked as I was so happy that I wasn't miscarrying.

So the time dragged out and eventually when I was 38 weeks gone, I was taken into hospital and 'started' with some gel. It was about 11am when they started me. They said it could be a while so to just walk about. So me and my partner walked around the hospital for a while, and the pressure on my bladder was unreal! I had to stop in every toilet I passed, but obviously didn't have to go!!! It was so weird, it wasn't sore, just a lot of pressure.

I started to get contractions (although I didn't know they were as they weren't as painful as I thought they'd be), so one of the girls in the same ward told my partner that I was having contractions and to call a doc. So they sent me for a bath, said it might bring on the labour more quickly. It was about 3.30 when I went into the bath. I was taking the 'gas and air' at this stage, and it was great!! I'd really recommend it, although I think it did make me forget some of what was happening.

So shortly after I went into the bath, a midwife checked me and I was 10cm dilated! She said I could have given birth in the bath, but because it was twins they needed to monitor the second baby while the first was being delivered. So that was it, into the delivery room, two nurses, two docs, two midwives, a student doc, my ma and my partner. Soon after Ma had to leave because the first baby was ready to be born! She was born at 4:53, and five minutes later her sister was born!!! I couldn't believe it!!! All the horror stories I had been told and it was all over in so little time!! The girls were 5lb 4oz and 5lb 12oz.

They were in an incubator for a couple of hours just to give them a kick-start! But were fine ever since. So anyone who is pregnant with twins and worrying about the birth, just remember, it might not be that bad. I couldn't believe what an easy time I had! I am now pregnant with my third child, the twins are 4 and so excited! I am due in May and am carrying just the one this time!!!!

I knew I was pregnant with twins

When my temp did not go down the day b4 af I knew I had to be pregnant. My mom had a dream about a baby. I took the test and it was positive. Only a week and a half later did I just know I was carring twins. I had dreams and after another week and a half I went to the er, and sure nuff I was pregnant with twins.
