I Had a Heterotopic Pregnancy
Dec 07, 2002
My name is Shelley, I had a heterotopic pregnancy. I was carring twins, one in my uterus, the other implanted in my abdomen. This is a condition that can happen with IVF or fert drugs. They say 1 in 30,000. I was taking nothing for fertility, so this was quite a surprise. I am 2 months post-op, and still feel lost. I just realy need anyone who will talk, listen, answer, any thing? I am 15 weeks pregnant, I am beyond blessed that one of my twins survived, but all I can think of is -there should be two-! I read stories of women and men who lost their baby and feel so ashamed about the way I feel, I still have one of my babies, Jesus has blessed me! No one wants to talk to me about how I feel. My mom was there with me, and bless her, but I almost died with massive blood loss, and she is being a mom, she is recovering from the thought of my possible death. My husband seems numb,it's like he wants to froget that week. I know that people deal with death differntly, I geuss that I'm the type that wants to talk and rationalize everything out. I feel that everyone just wants me to shut up and count my blessings, and I'm fixing to implode! I thank God for web sites of other "talkers", those who need to search and question. If you know of anyone who has gone threw this, lost a twin like I did, please let me know. I realy want to know how they delt with all these conflicting feelings of joy and greif. Thank You, Shelley in Texas
