"Verily, with hardship there is relief" (Qur'an 94:6)
So I had my ultra sound back in Feb (28th). I could barely see the screen (it wasn't an office with 2 monitors) .. so nothing on the wall.. the monitor was angled a bit away from me but hubby and tech could see everything.
She placed the wand immediately over my belly, and tech looked at hubby ( i freaked for a whole few seconds) "what's wrong"??
I was barely able to get out the question. . I started thinking about the 2 miscarriages I had within the past year (2 actually within 6 mths of each other) I could not bare to know if anything was wrong, but at the same time I was afraid not to know.. No one heard me (or so i thought)
"That's not twins, is it"? Hubby said knowing it was. "Yes, and we have a lot of work to do.." she said
She then angled the screen so we all 3 could see.
"What"?!? "Are you serious.. Are you sure one isn't tumor that looks like a head".. ?!?
"It's twins".. the tech said a little annoyed I would ask such a silly thing. I would have never thought that I of all people would be blessed with twins..
SubhanAllah!!! I had a miscarriage and 1 mth later pregnant with twins!!! But i had no idea i was carrying twins til my 1st ultra sound.
I did tell hubby i felt earlier fetal movement which he claimed was gas, but i KNEW it was movement.
I had to re-schedule a 2nd ultra sound to check for other things they usually don't check for in singular births.
They confirmed I am having mono-di twins .. or mono chorionic diaminotic..babies who share the same placenta.. aka Identicals
I was so shocked. SubhanAllah! I cried!! I was relieved to know everything was okay but shocked none the less. I was not just blessed with a pregnancy after 2 miscarriages within 1 year but blessed with 2 babies at once!!
I am nearly 27 weeks along. Hoping I make it at least until 37 weeks inshAllah!
I am nervous and excited at the same time! Once the girls are here we will have 5!! MashAllah!!
Yousef will be here before the twins turn 1 inshAllah.. So much craziness. Looking for a house. Hubby starting new things at work. The girls and i content at home and the oldest so excited she is going to have twin sisters. Things are looking up Alhamdulilah.
Sometimes we have to go through things that are extremely difficult..
"...Bear with patience whatever befalls you...." (Qur'an 31:17) and "Be not sad, surely Allah is with us." (Qur'an 9:40)
For those who are afflicted with disaster, glad tidings await them: so remain patient and happy with your Lord. "He cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned." (Qur'an 21:23)
