I seriously can’t believe that I’m writing this post on here. I’m a stage 3-4 endo sufferer. After 10 years of struggle , 9 ivfs🥵, 4 surgeries, 1 ectopic and an emergency life threatening surgery, miscarriages, I am here . I have had lost all hopes that I would ever be able to write this post on here so I had stopped posting on here but would just linger around and read the positive posts to keep myself going and off and on reply back to people whenever I felt I could .
I had a very stressful pregnancy so didn’t do any updates throughout the pregnancy. After falling pregnant I was spotting off and on and my progesterone fluctuating. So @10weeks i had some spotting for few days and cramping that scared the hell out of me and I went to my previous ivf consultant for a second opinion and he upped my progesterone.
PS: ladies progesterone is very important for women like us with previous history of endo and miscarriage.
At my 28week blood glucose, I tested positive for gestational diabetes and my blood pressure spiked to 140/90. I was monitored for next 3 days and put on insulin injections and medication for my blood pressure . And then onwards weekly hospital review for my blood pressure and 4times a day self prick blood sugar test. Then, at my 30 week scan they found that bp had spiked even higher. And on that day they admitted me and my heart sank that in this pandemic I would be in the hospital. But then I thought maybe they will control my bp and after a few days I will b able to go back home . But what was I thinking !😖
My blood pressure went haywire and they had put me on 2medications and after a week in hospital my blood bp went over the roof and so then 3 medications and thrice a day heartbeat monitoring and alternate day blood monitoring. But at 34 weeks my bloods started deteriorating. My consultant wanted to take my pregnancy to 37/38 weeks . But, that wasn’t meant to be. So after a month in hospital at 36 weeks my dr had to plan a c-section. And at 36 weeks my twins were born weighing 4 lbs each . I was so worried that my babies would need nicu. But, when they were born they didn’t need any support and they were straight given to us . But my preeclampsia went downhill again so had to be put on high dependency unit for 3 days and I was so poorly that I couldn’t even hold my babies let alone feeding . But I was so lucky that during this period they allowed my husband who was so scared to touch even normal baby , now had to hold these premies who looked like little monkey of 4lbs each . 😫😫
At day 4, I was shifted to post natal ward where my nightmare re-started as I had to leave my hubby and take my two babies with my sore stitched body and medications to b wheeled into a room with no one of my own to help. My hubby would come everyday and wait at the street below our room just to see a glimpse of his babies and me . I would cry in pain everytime I had to get out of bed and to hold my babies . But bless the midwives they were amazing . They taught me everything I know as I didn’t know much as all my antenatal classes got cancelled bcoz of corona.
So ladies please don’t loose hope . This is coming from a gurl who has lost all hopes. Sometimes it’s just a question of time. Love to all .
I joined this forum 5 years ago and on the way made some lovely friends for life . I would specially like to thank all the the ladies who some way or the other helped me cope up these dark and hopeless days . (They exactly know who they are). And kept sending me positive messages so that I could pick myself up. I quit my full time job in 2016 to try and focus on this journey and I would have gone absolutely mad hasn’t been these wonderful ladies in here .
“God gives u family whom u can’t choose . ( I didn’t have any family to support me at all neither from my husband’s side neither from my family apart from my parents). But blessed are people like me for whom god sends angels like these wonderful women on here .
And I also want to thank the wonderful administrators and Diane (who’s a nurse with many years of experience). She also has been always there to guide anyone and everyone .
PS: Sorry for the long post. X

Hi tiger-cub. Well, after sooooo many ups and downs you got there! What a smashing pair of twins. Don't know what flavour they are, but whatever, enjoy your new family life and do lots of daft things together. Thank you for your kind comments, it was always a pleasure to help out when I could. Loads of xxxxxx's for babies and a BIG gently hug for you. Diane
Oh wow. So so glad that you are in a position to share your wonderful news after such a long and difficult journey and what sounds like a terrifying pregnancy and birth! You are so strong for continuing despite all your setbacks. Your two little ones are adorable and very lucky to have you as their mamma! Wishing you a speedy recovery and huge congratulations to you all xxxx
Congratulations to you! What a journey, I hope you are recovering well, the pain of a CS is hard enough without all the other problems you went through.
I am so happy that you got your happy ending and new beginning all in one. Enjoy the newborn stage and your lovely little babies.
Wow, a long hard journey with plenty of drama right to the very end. Hope you're healing nicely now and your amazing little double troubles are feeding well and fattening up nicely. Gorgeous, has it started to sink in yet that they're really yours? Congratulations xxx
I’m sorry to say I don’t come on here much anymore (I just don’t get as much time as I used to!) but I got an email notification of your update today so I just wanted to say "congratulations!" xx
I’ve only just seen this - I don’t come on here so much anymore . I can’t put into words how thrilled I am for you, what a terrible long painful journey you’ve endured but so bloody fantastic you have 2 beautiful babies to show for it. A boy & girl how lovely to have one of each ( read your comment to Diane) Hope the lockdown eases & it’s safer so you can show off your babies. Enjoy. They grow up way too quickly! 😍 xxx
Newborns are very hard work constant non stop - I only had 1 & I was exhausted by her! My hat goes off to you are super mum! It will get easier & by about 6 months you’ll start to get into a routine, it’s very hard to establish a routine when babies are demand fed. As they get older they’ll be so incredibly close & will play & entertain each other 😍 they’ll be so bonded. Restrictions are being lifted so I’m sure we’ll soon be able to mix more. I felt sad Francesca couldn’t see her grandparents during lockdown she missed them & vice versa. Prior to lockdown she saw them every week. Grandparents have an important role 🙂 xxx
Oh I just started crying reading your post. Firstly, so thankful you are all OK. Secondly, what a journey you have been through, I hope you can now put it behind you now and your long awaited babies. I also just have to briefly mention how heartbreaking it was that your husband had to stand on the street just to have a glimpse of you and the babies in the window. All the best and congratulations!
