You're Having Twins!

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 dissapointed. 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!
