The first months

I didnt imagine being pregnant was so tough. My mother use to comfort me assuring me that its not me, but because im carrying twins, things might seem a little tougher than it should be. Just think about the goodness behind it and rejoice!

Though i had improved appetite, it didnt last, just for a mere couple of weeks. After that it was nausea, nausea and nausea all day long! I vomitted everything i ate: porridge, sweets, biscuits, even water! It was horrible! What made it worst is because im pregnant! Perhaps i could have withstand it better if i wasnt pregnant but because i was, the thought of what my babies will be eating if i could even eat just made the minutes, hours and days felt like years!

I went to the gynae almost every week, each time with different complains, but he merely smiled and ensured that it was normal. I couldnt remember which week it was when i vomitted blood, not liquid, but solid jelly like blood. Gastrointestinal infection it was. So i was on heavy duty anti nausea injections and gastric medication throughout my first semester. Sigh!

That wasnt all! I had to even have an IV infusion because i was so dehydrated as i couldnt take any foods in! That was my first IV ever! Sigh sigh

This was accompanied by frequent spotting and bleeding. My membrane was weak, hence everytime it stretches, it raptures. Hence i was on progresteron (Crinone 8%) from daily, to three times a week to weekly intake portions! Sigh sigh sigh

Despite all these, i looked forward to every visit to the gynae, as it meant visiting my babies! How can you resists trying to figure out which is their heads and toes and smiling to each hiccup they make!
