Can I ask for some dust?
I am an irregular poster, more of lurker, but always a reader of your heartwarming and insightful posts.
My husband and I were married in July and found out about one month ago we were pregnant when that urine pregnancy test quickly gave us those infamous double blue lines.
We went to our first doctor’s appointment yesterday and found out we are having twins. I wish the story stopped there…
Our little ones are mono/mono twins which are extremely rare (1% of all twins pregnancies). This means they share a placenta and an amniotic sac, creating a myriad of complications which include cord strangulation and twin/ twin transfusion as there isn’t a membrane separating our little ones.
The doctor is recommending a really strict schedule which starts out with weekly ultrasounds, until week 12, bi-weekly from week 13-22, hospitalization starting at week 22 until delivery so they can constantly monitor the little ones (other statistics are online but it’s painful to type them out). All that sounds exhausting just thinking about it.
It’s so hard not be excited when I am so damn scared. But as my mom says fear and faith can’t live in the same body…I just needed someone to tell as none of our friends or families know…
Please send prayers.
Peace, love, and smiles,
LL
