Just today have I mustered the courage to write my sad story. I was pregnant with twins and was soo happy. Couldn’t ask GOD for anything more when I found out both of them were girls. Everything was going fine, when on my 19th week, had a yogurt type discharge and some lower back pain. I called my Dr and he said to go into emergency- Labor and delivery. When the dr in labor & delivery checked me, she said she could barely see my cervix and my contractions were occurring very frequently. My twin A's membranes could be seen. So my dr came in the morning and they decided to do a rescue surclage. He wasn’t sure if he could push Twin A up and stitch up the cervex. He said the chances are very high that Twin A's water bag will rupture and we may need to deliver the twins. Some miracle happened and he could push the water bag up without rupturing it and managed to stitch the cervex a tiny bit. After that I was on complete bed rest in the hospital till my 23rd week. On the 23rd week, I started to bleed a lot and the water bag for twin A has ruptured. So we had to deliver Twin A and she passed away after 3 hours in my arms. I delivered her vaginally so they managed to keep Twin B inside and also keep the Placenta for Twin A inside, since it was joint with Twin B. The dr also did another surclage hoping that will keep Twin B inside longer. On the 24th week, I caught a major life threatening infection and also a big blod clot - sue to the placenta bleeding from Twin A. So we decided to deliver Twin B through a C-Section. She lasted 3 days in the NICU and passed away.
We have been through so much pain and I am always crying for my babies. I feel if only I could hold them once more, I would do anything for it. Life can be very cruel and I always seem to blame myself for everything that happened. I also seem to be angry with everyone around me. It will be 3 months for our 1st baby on Jan 31st. I hold their pictures, talk to them, dream about them and I don't seem like letting go of them. At times I feel I may go insane.

Angelbaby,
I am so sorry! I can't imagine your pain. I have miscarried 3 times & as emotionally painful as they were I know it doesn't even come close to what you've had to endure. I am so sorry that you don't have your little girls to hold. Since I started ivf & since my miscarriage a year ago I find myself constantly questioning why things happen the way they do. I think I will forever. I know there aren't any words that can make this better for you but, just know that there are many people here that can relate or a least come close. God bless you

Angelbaby -
My heart absolutely goes out to you. I can't possibly imagine the grief you are going through. I think all of your reactions are completely understandable. I hope you can get past blaming yourself. This wasn't your fault at all! I'm sure deep down you know that, but it is completely natural to feel that it is your fault. I miscarried one of my twins and that was all I could think of for weeks. I know that this doesn't compare to your situation, but just wanted to let you know that it is a normal reaction.
I truly hope that you have a good support group of family and friends that can help you get through this. No matter what anyone says, don't try to rush through the grieving process and move on. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to feel sad, mad, devastated and hopefully too you will start to have days that aren't so bad. When you do have a "good" day, don't feel guilty about it. Please know that you are in my prayers to find peace in your heart with all that you've been through.

Angelbaby,
I know it has to be a very difficult time for you right now with no hope at all but, believe me when I say there is a light at the end of that tunnel. You have to go through all of the pain first & then you will find your way out but, like Becky said that scar will always be there & you will always wonder why this happened especially when you see many others that you feel are unworthy to be parents & don't appear to care if they have children or not. There are many people who don't know what to say & there are some that are just insensitive. They don't understand & I think the worst phrase is "Everything happens for a reason" & I heard that alot after my misscarriage. Try to avoid those people for now if you can, or cut your conversations short. Talking to people that don't undersatnd was the worst thing for me & just made me feel worse. There isn't anyone anywhere that is going to make you feel better right now & you need to greive for your precious angels & question everything right now. I still have to remind myself going into this cycle that it does get better if this were to happen again. I haven't ever lost a child like you though & I can't even imagine the pain you're going through. I am so sorry, no one should ever have to lose a child. God bless you,

Thank you for having the courage to write, angelbaby. My heart just breaks for you. I appreciate you taking the time to tell what happened to you. We just found out our little baby died in utero yesterday. I had a D&C today and I came on this site looking for someone who has gone through this to mourn with. So, I grieve with you and I'm sad for the unbearable loss you are having to go through. I'm so sorry. I hope that the pain eases with time. I'm sure you will always miss your babies.
Much love,
HLD

Hi Angelbaby,
I too have lost 2 babies and although I never got a chance to hold them because the pregnancy was so early, it hurts really bad and I think about them mostly all of the time. GOD has a plan and we have to keep striving onward and not forget our lost loved ones, but remember them and know that they are in the safest place to be.

Re: Lost both my twins
Angelbaby:
I went though something similar. After an IVF and 2 years of treatments I found out that I was finally pregnant. As you said, with my housband and I, we couldnt be happier when we found out they were twins: a boy and a girl. God had finally diceded to help us, and we were going to have a big family, we started planning to build our house...but after 16 weeks I woke up one day with fever and 2 days later my Dr hospitilized me..they couldnt find anything that caused the fever..after 2 days at the hospital I woke up one morning and discovered the water bag of one of the babies had broke....so I started with contractions and after 12 hours I delivered both vaginally (they were alive until the last moment). Later I discovered I had an infection caused by an fungus.You were so brave, I couldn´t dare to hold them!!!! It was so terrible.
Life can be so unfair, sometimes I think I will never get over it, plus all the memories and the phtos and all our hopes.....it is terrible and I can understand how you feel. But you will have to live with this all your life as so will I. Lets keep in touch to help each other thought this terrible and unfair situation.
Don´t you get angry at God sometimes? Does it happen that when you see friends who were pregnant along when you were, when you see them you just can´t take it? It is so terrible.
Best wishes baby, and let´s give each other strenght!!!
