Talk about a scary (and sucky) Halloween! ((Edited))

[mommakat29]

Yeah, here we were, two of my friends, and a house full of excited kids. Decorating and getting everything ready for our Halloween party that we've been planning for two months...and I start to bleed. 2 1/2 months pregnant, and here comes a big gush of blood. I freak out, go to the bathroom, and clean up and change, I'm shaking and so scared. It was heavy, I was sure I was losing the baby. I let my friends know. Call my midwife. She tells me to get to the emergency room and she'll meet me there. So off we go. My friend Brandy takes me. Sandy stays there with all the kids. We call Joe (my hubby) he's freaking out worse than me, I think. (so sweet) Anyway, we get there, Joe meets us there. A little bit later, here comes my wonderful midwife. Brandy (bless her sweet little heart, I love her to death!) decides she's taking all the kids (her four and my three) trick or treating because Sandy's already called people and cancelled the party. The doc at the er has to do a pee and a blood preg test to "make sure I'm really pregnant" like, duh, I already KNOW I'm pregnant! Why won't you just do something! I want to know if I'm losing this baby or what!!! Anyway, of course we wait about an hour and a half before he finally determines that I am in fact pregnant, lol! So finally, off I go to ultrasound. And there is the baby! It looks like a mexican jumping bean! The ultrasound guy was like wow! That is one active baby! BUT, there is what looks to be either another sac or a fibroid. He can't tell. SO apparently I either lost a twin to this baby, or I have a large-ish fibroid in there. I have to go see an OB, and get more tests run to find out exactly what happened. I am now off my feet for atleast three days, after that, I can get up and around some, but I have to take it really easy. Yeah, right, with three kids, that works, NOT!

I'm doing the Halloween party, next weekend dammit!!!

 

Well, I found out today that I did lose a twin. I've always joked about how awful it would be to have twins, but now I feel sad that I actually had twins and lost one, even this early (11 weeks). The other baby is doing fine, though. So thank the Goddess for that...

Oh katie Im sorry to hear that , I dont know if this helps but I read that this is very common, and that some women dont have any symptoms/while others do......and some  women never even knew they had twins to begin with.   I know that doesnt really help :( 

Just know that everything will be fine, Im thinking about you and sending lots of good loving energy your way! :)

Oh girl, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was just checking on some of my friends and came across your post. My heart is with you during this time. I know as a mother who has lost a child, its a hard thing. Don't blame yourself and don't let those discouraging thoughts bring you down. This twin has not just his soul now but the inherited soul of his heavenly twin...so beware, he's going to be a handfull... Talk about two rolled up into one! Happy thoughts love, happy thoughts!!!
