Pregnancy Info HOME

I agree with "yetanothertripletmom". I am pregnant with twins because of in-vitro after trying years and years to get pregnant, in-vitro was our last option. Believe me I wish I was one of those woman who could get prenant naturally. But when I was doing the in-vitro I was praying to get pregnant....and hoping that it would be with only one. I am only 5 ft tall and was 98 lbs, I couldn't imagine this body with twins, not to mention the complications. Now that I am pregnant with twins, I want them both, I love them both, but I am constantly stuck with the fear of pretem labor and having either A. my babies die because they were born too early, or B. them having to be in the hospital for however long trying to survive. I think being pregnant with just one would lessen this fear, and also be much easier to take care of after birth. And mind you, this is coming from someone who is infertile and don't know if I can have anymore children. In-vitro is very expensive so I know we won't be doing that again. So if anyone had a reason for wanting twins, it would be me. But for the safety of my own self, my child, and how it's going to be raising two at once...I would have preferred to have gotten pregnant with just one. Again...keeping in mind that now that I am pregnant with two, I just feel very blessed to be pregnant at all and I love and want both of my babies. But at the same time I'm in constant fear of losing them or having other complications. That's not fun.
