Stories

I have researched everything since I started the surrogacy process. That includes birth stories. I am not sure if I have only read the horror stories or that is all I remembered. Well I talked to a twin mother the other day about her experience and let me tell you she gave me so much hope on how my pregnancy can be. She went to 39.5 weeks and had a vaginal delivery for her babies with the same doctor that I am with now. I do know that no story is the same and there are no guarantees that mine will be anything like hers but it gives me hope that I might be just fine. I am still scared about bed rest, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm labor but I have hope that I will have a totally normal pregnancy now that I have heard a story that it can happen. The advice I was given was to keep hydrated and put my feet up whenever possible. I think I will do my best to try to make sure I have the best twin experience that I can.

  1. I girl I work with just had twins. She made it to like 38 weeks and had the first twin vaginally and the second a c-section because he was coming out one foot first. Good luck!
