Changes

On test day I took the test just to confirm that I could stop the medication. I had already started to plan the next attempt. To my amazement and disbelief the test was positive! We were absolutely thrilled. Of course the first trimester was a worrying time and I analysed every twinge. I felt terribly sick in the evenings which delighted me because I knew it was a good sign. We eventually went for our first scan at 9 weeks, I was terrified having seen an empty sac on the previous pregnancy. My heart was in my mouth As soon as the sonographer began the scan up on the screen popped two little sacs – it was twins! We were both speechless. I couldn’t have been happier. Finally I was going to be a mummy.

I was lucky to have a trouble free pregnancy and my two little ones, a boy and a girl, were born by planned caesarean section in March 2011. I will never forget that journey from the theatre to the recovery room with one little baby tucked under each arm. I think that was the proudest and happiest moment of my whole life.
