TODAY 3/12/2010 11 WEEKS NOW.. EXCITED BOUT HAVING MY TWINS... I WENT TO THE ER WITH STOMACH PAIN AND THE DOCTOR TOLD ME I AM PREGNANT SO THEY SEND ME TO GET AN U/S AND AFTER WAITING HOURS THEY TOLD ME CONGRATS YOU'RE HAVING TWINS THEY FOUND 2 SACS.. I WAS EXCITED, FRATERNAL TWINS... THEN I WENT TO THE ER FOR SPOTTING AT 6 WEEKS 6 DAYS THEY SEND ME TO GET AN U/S WHEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS 1 EMPTY SAC AND 2 BABIES IN 1 SAC.. I WAS SO EXCITED FOR IDENTICAL TWINS BUT WAS CURIOUS ON THE EMPTY SAC.. BUT THE TWIS ARE FINE SO THEY SEND ME HOME.. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED TO BLEED A LITTLE DARKER NO PAIN NOTHING SO WENT BACK TO THE ER AND THEY DID A U/S TEY SAID THE BABIES ARE FINE TO NOT COME BACK IN UNTIL I HAVE PAIN OR TISSUE PASSING THRU.. I WAS FINE UNTIL 4 DAYS LATER I STARTED BLEEDING SO BAD LIKE I WAS HAVING MY PERIOD I SAW CLOTTING AND RUSHED TO THE ER AGAIN NO PAIN AT ALL WAS NERVES.. THE DR CHECK ME AND HAD TO GET A OBGYN I WAS SO SCARED I ASK HIM IF SOMETHING IS WRONG HE SAID MY CERVIX WAS OPEN.. I WAS CRYING.. WHEN THE OB CAME IN SHE TOOK THIS LONG LOOKING CLOT OUT AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOOD CLOT SHE TOLD ME IT LOOK LIKE PREGNANCY TISSUE.. I TOLD HER IF THERE ANY WAY THAT CAN BE THE EMPTY SAC TRYING TO FLUSH ITSELF OUT?! SHE SAID SHE DIDNT KNOW. I ASK IF THE OTHER SAC IS OKAY. BC I HAD 1 EMPTY N 1 WITH 2 BABIES I THERE SHE TOLD ME MOST LIKELY WHEN A WOMAN CERVIX IS OPEN THERE IS NO CHANCE.. SO SHE CHECK AND SAW THAT MY CERVIX WAS CLOSING SO SHE DID A U/S AND MY TWINS ARE OKAY... YAY!!! AFTER THAT I WAS STILL BLEEDING HEAVY SHE SAID JUST RELAX MY CERVIX IS CLOSED AND PUT ME ON BEDREST.. HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS BUT SHE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER TEM BC SHE DIDNT KNOW...

MY DR SENT ME FOR AN U/S WHERE SHE DISCOVER I WAS HAVING MONO MONO TWINS.. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT WAS I WAS JUST SOOO EXCITED..
