This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write. On Aug 3rd, I went in for an ultrasound bc the Perinatologist notice one of my twins had more fluids than the other which was the first sign of TTTS(Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome) this is when one twin takes more nutrients than the other.
The doctors had warned me that if I did not go into labor and deliver the babies, I was taking the chance of risking my own life and causing an infection in my uterus but they could not survive at only 18 weeks.
They also said that there was a very slim chance under 5% that the babies could survive and the fluids in their amniotic sacs replenish themselves so as any mother would do I did everything to save them but their hearts stopped beating on day two which is also when I went into a septic shock with 104 fever.
My little angels went to Heaven on Aug 5th and I was rushed into the OR for emergency surgery and was in the ICU for 4 days. RIP My Sweet Angels.

But like at home it wasn’t like we were in a relationship what was it like at home lonely. I tell him all the time I just wanted him to want to be around me and talked to me and kissed me and like a normal relationship.
