Melissa's
having Twins! Story
I
actually wasn't aware I was pregnant until I was three months along. I had been
having problems with a cyst and my periods were irregular. I was even on B/C
pills! I remember starting to feel nauseous and attributed it to the pills
making my body get all strange. Then I got an infection (female type, sorry TMI)
and I was like ok I only get this when I get huge hormonal swings...what's going
on?! So I went to the pharmacy and bought two items. A box of Monistat and a
pregnancy test. Went home and I took the test first...I was floored! I had
suspected but oh boy. I was NOT planning on getting pregnant. I mean why else be
on the pills?!
So I go out and buy a big bottle of prenatal pills. I only told one person at
first, a cousin I knew I could trust with my little secret. I waited a week and
tested again and it seemed to me that the test was lighter than before and I
felt disappointed. I had had three miscarriages in the last 4 years already.
Last time the test got lighter and I had lost the pregnancy because the hormones
were leaving my body. My cousin said I was being silly, a positive is a positive
so make an appointment to get a test at the doctors. So there I go and the test
came up a violent bright pink! LOL I was nervous and excited and scared and omg
all at the same time.
A week later I had dinner late, around 9pm. Went to bed at 11pm and about two
hours later woke up with the weirdest feeling in my stomach. I knew I was going
to throw up. So there I went, and I hugged my dear bowl for a good three hours
practically non-stop. Now I was worried because I've had stomach problems before
and have gone 11 hours throwing up because of it. So I hauled myself off to the
ER. Poor taxi driver, I told him you might have to pull over because I don't
want to mess up your car. And he had to pull over! Only once though LOL.
Get there and all the fun that ER is at that time in the morning la la la. I
remember the stupid nurse at the registration window...oh you're pregnant? Well
this is just morning sickness...you should go home and lay down. Um...wtf?! Go
away and let me be sick until I get called. So then I DO get called into the
main ER to get checked on. Of course I get nauseous as I'm walking in the door.
I stand against the wall and tell the other nurse I need a bucket. And she just
keeps telling me to follow her, over and over as if I didn't speak english. I
wind up throwing up again and it hurts so much I wind up on my knees and STILL
she's telling me to get up and follow her. So I yell at her "I CAN'T GET UP YET,
LET ME FINISH THROWING UP!" The security guard at the entrance got pissed and I
apologized to him but he told me it wasn't me or what I had done he was pissed
at. Called the nurse some lovely names which made me feel better.
So an hour of tests and prodding and poking and stinking interns who have no
idea what they are doing but doing it anyway (sorry to anyone who's an intern or
knows one.) Finally they say let's check on the pregnancy to make sure nothing
is wrong and it's going ok. In come two interns with the sonogram machine and
they start looking around for the baby. They're standing there arguing with each
other over what they see. I remember exactly. "Is that one or two gestational
sacks I see?" "I think it's two, you see here? There's one and there's two" "Are
you sure, it doesn't look like it" "Yes it's two sacks" "Ma'am did you know you
were having twins?"
WHAT?!?!?! NO I DIDN'T KNOW! What a lovely way to find out too LOL So they print
me out a copy of the picture. The first baby picture ever for my books. It
looked like and alien head with two eyes LOL
Another 5 hours in ER and 2 more in L&D and finally I was sent home and told to
watch what I eat!
Did I mention I had used my cellphone camera to take a picture of the sonogram
picture and sent it to my mother and asked her if twins run in the family. Yep
that's how I told her, while I was still in the ER and she was on vacation in
Florida!
I told bf that afternoon when I got home from the ER. Sent him down for crackers
and gingerale then sat him down. He said you're pregnant aren't you. I
said...yeah but that's not it. It's TWINS.
I still don't think he's over the shocks LOL!
