What an incredible story. I grabbed a few spare moments as I have 2 sets of twins to read about natural births (as regrettably I will never have the chance…4 lively little boys is certainly enough for their Mummy & Daddy). I wish you and you little girls all the best in the future

Thank you! I found out three days ago that mine will be twins. I am at 10 weeks. My doctor told me that c-section is the way of things. The best I should hope for is the first one vaginally, then c-section for the next. She has never not done c-section for twins.

I called the birth center in the area. They won’t work with twins. I have an appointment to meet a midwife in a couple of weeks.

My mom and my husband are my biggest support. Upon discovering twins, they are feeling nervous about at-home. I find myself wondering if I am being naive in not considering my twins to be a “complication.”

I am desperate for reassurance that this will be okay. I very much appreciate finding that someone else has gone through similar experiences and had positive outcome.

OH MY!!! THANK YOU- THANK YOU! What a beautiful and inspiring story and THANK YOU again for sharing. *tears of joy for the miracle of life and how our bodies DO work if we LET them*

The beginning of your story brought back very vivid and real memories for me. You see, I have a 20-month-old daughter; when I was about 2.5 months pregnant I had that same horrible feeling and sigh (although I wasn’t in the comforts of home)– BLOOD! And since this would have been my 2nd miscarriage and I didn’t even want to go to the doctor to go through all that “junk” (possible D&C, etc.) I had all but given up hope that my baby was alive. Then a dear friend (who I pray for daily– what a beautiful Christian Catholic wife and mother) told me that this can happen and that the baby could be okay and insisted that I go to the ER– the exact same story you told unfolded and I found out that I “was” carrying twins– WAS– “what do you mean?” The U/S tech told me, well- you lost one… you will bleed for a few more days and then we’ll check you again and your other baby should be fine– with a smile on her face. “Vanishing twin– something I had never heard of…” Yes, I was trying to smile for my living baby while mourning my dead one… anyway, I don’t want to rob your post but I do want to say THANK YOU! Even though I didn’t have twins I had thought about and still continued to think about all those “what if” senarios while pregnant. And now that I’m expecting again (not sure how far along) but already feeling movement and not showing “much” I can’t help but think that I might be having twins again… sigh, oh the questions. I guess I should pose the question to my midwife tonight at my prenatal appt.

God Bless you & your beautiful baby girls!
