Worst week of my life/Twin to twin transfusion.
I woke up on a normal Tuesday, which was the 23rd of Feb 2016..
I had a scan in the morning, which was normal for me as I have them fortnightly due to having identical twins.
Me and my Fiance Callum met my Mother in the hospital, and then we headed off to the scan.
The two scanning ladies, were acting very off and whispering between them, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I then asked ''Is there something wrong with my babies''. They then replied and said ''We will discuss it and the end''
You can imagine the dread I am going through..
At the end of the scan they said to me that they thought one baby had only grown three days in two weeks, I just wanted to cry my eyes out.
I then had to wait to see my specialist an hour later,
He then said to me they suspected twin to twin transfusion
This is explained if you click on the word. Basically it is something you do not want for your babies and can even lead to loosing one or two babies. I then got told I would have to be referred to the capital of the country I live in, to go and be assessed in their hospital.
A WEEK LATER!!!
I had to wait til the next Monday to find out how my babies were,
Me, Callum, My parents, Callum's parents and our whole families didn't sleep or eat properly for the whole week.
The only way I can explain that week to you is like I was living in hell. I didn't get dressed from the Tuesday to the Friday. When Callum was working I was going to my Mum or my Dad would come here.
Even though they are separated, they would both be here, which was amazing and we would all have a laugh.
My Dad and Mum and Callum were all my rocks that week, and we were all helping each other really,
Friends did visit, but I just wasn't myself, even my Nan and her partner traveled down to come and see me, but I don't think I was good company.
I just couldn't bear the thought of loosing them, my Family said to me I was so strong throughout it all, they have never been so proud of me.
It made me realize motherhood, I love my baby boys, I would do anything for them. I have never felt emotional pain like that before.
Monday the 29 Feb-Assessment Day.
Me and Callum made our way to the hospital, we got their on time, but didn't get seen for at least an hour an a half, they started scanning me, I couldn't see the screen, Callum could and he just held my hand. I stared at the wall, praying.
It went on for 40 mins at the end of the scan, the scanner said to me there was no sign of twin to twin transfusion.
Guys, I can't tell you how happy I was. She did say that I would have to wait to speak to a consultant,
The consultant basically said they were both now weighing amazing weights, and that there was no sign of twin to twin transfusion.
Twin one- 2lb13oz
Twin two-3lb1oz
I was over the moon, I actually didn't cry as I don't think I had any tears left.
Me and Callum just laughed the rest of the day and evening and in fact we still can't wipe the smile off our faces.
I would still love to be support of anyone going through twin to twin transfusion as I know how scary it feels. So if you are going through this, feel free to contact me,
I am just very lucky with the support I had, The best feeling was knowing my boys were healthy and well. WITH ONLY FIVE WEEKS TO GO!!!!
