I’m sharing my journey as a twin mama ❤️

As a divorced single mama of one I was shocked to find out that I was having twins!

My singleton pregnancy was a BREEZE! But the twins pregnancy were so much different. I found myself alone and scared most of my pregnancy. What people I called “friends” either disappeared and no longer engaged with me much or couldn’t get to me because of the daily struggles in their own lives.

DEATH was for sure a worry on my mind after struggling with hyperemesis gravidarum. My body was so weak that my chest was killing me and the doctor confirmed that I puked so much that I had a rib out of place. I was losing weight so rapidly and unable to hold down food or fluids. I remember being scared to death that I’d leave this earth and my baby boy would have to lose me. My sweet doctor put me on a zofran pump via pick line and that’s when I started to feel decent enough to get by!

Hyperemesis went away at 16 weeks gestation. I was doing great for a short time. I started struggling with very high Blood pressure dizziness and swelling. I then was diagnosed with preeclampsia and the twins were delivered via c-section at 32 weeks 6 days. My health has severely declined after having them but I’m so thankful the Lord has given me a chance to be their mama!

Now 6 months post partum I’ve had my second pulmonary embolism since birth. I’m terrified of the future but it’s in the hands of the master. ❤️
