A PREGNANCY STORY THAT CAN TEACH YOU A LOT..

 THERE ARE MANY METHODS TO CONFIRM  PREGNANCY:

1.Best method is to use pregnancy kit.

2.Cervical test.Usually cervix will be soft after menses and during early pregnancy due to more blood supply to the uterus.If  you are pregnant then your cervix will be felt like lips or if it is non pregnant uterus than it will fell like hard like tip of nose.

3.First you should collect morning urine in a container (preferably mid stream of urine). In another container take toothpaste (white in color,any other colour is not preferable)and add few drops of urine into it & mix well n wait for a while.If it reacts then there will be formation of foams,then test is said to be positive.

4.Collect urine in a container.Add salt to it,wait for 3 minutes for conclusion.If there is a clumping and changes happening then test is said to be positive.No changes means that the homemade pregnancy test is negative.

HOW ACCURATE IS A HOME PREGNANCY TEST?IS IT RELIABLE?

The standard over-the counter pregnancy tests meant to be taken at home are very accurate.HCG,the usual hormone tested for,is considered to indicate pregnancy at levels over 6mlU/ml (that is ,6 milli-international units per mili litre.).A blood test is reliable down to about 2ml U/ml,and the home test are accurate to about 50,although some claim to be accurate to about 25.In a normal pregnancy,theHCG level rises about 60% every 2 days.

HOW DO I CHECK PREGNANCY AT HOME WITHOUT A KIT?

You could wait 40 weeks and see if you go into labour.Or you could wait 3-4 months and then feel around your lower abdomen and check is there a fetus growing.

There is no other way,unless you go to your doctor and let them take a blood sample.

A STORY OF PREGNANCY THAT CAN TEACH YOU A LOT..

We planned for baby in January 2016 . We confirmed our pregnancy in February.. I'm just 23 & he is 27 . We are not matured enough. But happy and mentally prepared for our upcoming responsibilities..

We were excited to know that I'm pregnant with twins @ 7 weeks scan. My hubby was very happy. I was scared about how I'm going to manage twin babies. We heard two babies heart beat & everything was normal in the first scan..

I kept on vomitting. I was unable to eat as usual. Vomitting continued till end. I was taking folic acid from the day we started planning baby. And some other vitamin tablets after confirming pregnancy.

Everyone in our family was very happy & excited to welcome our two little hearts. Only my dad was worried about my health & how I'm going to handle this.

We went for second scan @ 11 weeks . I saw babies movements & heard two babies heart beat. I came out happily. This time they didn't allow my husband.

After a while sonographer called my hubby and discussed something. I guess something was not right. But I was ok since I heard two baby heart beat..

Sonographer informed my hubby that, one of baby’s head shape looked suspicious but said Not to worry, and told us to wait for next scan to confirm. I was praying to God everyday for my two souls. I started loving both souls after the first scan.

Something unexpected happened in our 12 week scan. Twin B was Diagnosed with Acrania - a neural tube defect . Its a rare disorder and was confirmed. I was devastated & my dreams shattered within seconds. My heart beat raised. I was half dead.. why this happened to me .

One of my baby was not going to survive after birth. How could I tolerate this as a mother.? I cried .. cried continuously for 3 days. . I got strength from my dad words.. My mom came to our house to help me.

In the same time I was suffering from Mumps . My face & ears got swollen , Couldnt swollow water even. I was scared to the death.. I managed hard to eat as my baby health was much important.

We met gynecologist after a week. I was mentally prepared to tolerate any pain for saving my babies.

Selective reduction was not possible in this case as twins are monochorionic diamniotic twins. Single placenta & two amniotic sac. If anything happen to one baby it will affect other healthy baby. .

From our heart me & hubby were having no idea to go selective reduction. Already we googled & read lot about it. Atleast I wanted to spend few minutes with my baby after birth & also I could spend total 9 months with her in my womb. I was relieved when I got to know that selective reduction was not possible in my case.

According to me, both babies were my heart beats. I couldn't see any defect. Only one option gynaec gave us was To abort both babies. There was 70 percentage possibility of twin B dying in womb anytime. Since the upper part of skull didnt develop her brain was in amniotic fluid. If anything happened to Twin B, healthy twin A will also die.

How can I kill healthy growing baby ? I was sure I'm not going to abort & I came out. My gynec suggested us to go for Mediscan where they provide high quality ultrasound,fetal care & genetic testing.

We got appointment the next day. I undergone ultrasound nearly 6 times the whole day. My stomach got severe cramp.

They confirmed Twin A is healthy in this stage & they will know everything clearly @ 20th week anomaly scan .. Left the choice to us. In the same time we met several specialists to save atleast one of our baby. No one was supportive & suggested abortion as there were lot of complications in momo twins. We had to undergo lot of stress. Each & everyday was very fearful for us..

My hubby was very very supportive to me. Our relatives started sharing scary pregnancy stories of others & told us to abort to get peaceful life. I could say such a lucky person I'm to get hubby like him. Perfect decision maker. He told me not to worry even if our baby born disabled we can grow up them with love. . no need to abort .

Finally one gynecologist accepted to proceed our pregnancy saying we can give the choice to god. Don’t expect anything. In end if you save one of your baby you will be happy.. I was happy. She was the one who gave me positive thought to continue my pregnancy.

I used to talk to both of my babies regularly. I read lot of articles about Acrania & searched way to save my Twin B . I read many stories of the parents who gave birth with same defect. I clearly understood survival rate of my twin B is zero percent.. I knew only in my womb I can talk to her.

Mentally I became strong everyday. Vomiting continued till the end of pregnancy. I didn't gain much weight. But every report was normal.

Everything was perfect in anomaly scan taken at 18th week. One is very healthy & I felt both babies movements regularly. No complications as expected by doctors. Both growing normally without disturbing one another.

In the 28 week scan when sonographer said my Twin B is very active and not co operating to take measurements. Tears started rolling on my cheeks. I was not able to talk even a word.

We crossed 30th week. We were happy that we can save one of the twin even if they are born prematurely now. I got a big relief. I was underweight before pregnancy so it was hard for me, my stomach became very big. I always walked by holding my hubby hands.

I noted the list to buy things for my newborn. My husband bought everything. Hospital bag was ready at 32 week. My twin B was also growing good. Baby proved every doctors wrong. My little angel struggled till the end to save the other one. I’m proud of my baby. She is not with us now but will live in our heart till our last breath.

Weeks passed. Delivery date was coming near. I started crying thinking that I’m going to lose one of my baby. Unable to feel happy for one of healthy baby. . Still praying to god to save my both babies. .

Other than happiness fear & sad part of losing my Twin B occupied my mind totally . We reached 35 weeks without any complications. Yes god was by my side. I thought god was testing me as which path I would choose.

C section was planned on 36th week as I became weak & dehydrated because of vomiting daily. Only one week more for C section. . I talked to my baby well. I cried to her how I’m gonna miss her after a week. .

The happiest part was whenever I was crying my both girls started to kick me inside. Very painful days no one should go through. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

C section was planned on october 6 2016 . On october 5 we were admitted in hospital. At midnight I got very severe shivering . My heart beat & baby heart beat raised rapidly. I was taken to emergency room. After 1 hour of struggle. Everything aroundwas under control. I could hear two heart beat till now.

Early morning I was taken to C section room. I was cool & patiently praying to god. . Once anesthesia was injected everything got numb. I could hear doctors talking around..

Suddenly I heard a cry. I was happy & eagerly waiting for another cry. But didn’t.

Doctor told me its baby girl. I was happy. As I was expecting baby girl from the beginning. I heard a doctor voice that She was still alive. I was happy that its my Twin B. Room was silent after that. I became sleepy..

Earlier I informed my hubby to spend every minute with my twin B. I told him to take pictures of her . I already bought a cap to cover her upper head. I prepared everything beforehand with my mom & hubby's support.

I was unable to spend even a single minute with my dying baby. . I even didn’t see her. I just saw her in pictures. Her dad spent three minutes with her. He saw her troubling to breath. She said goodbye to All of us after 3 minutes of coming to this world.

Identical twins. She resembles her sister . Healthy twin weighed just 1.75 kg & was taken to NICU. She was able to maintain her temperature. She was back to my roombefore me. Its miracle doctor said. I could not feel anything when I saw her. . I was half aware due to anesthesia.

I miss my Twin B everyday every moment. I cry everyday till now. I know she is still living within me..

This is my Healthy twin & our struggles to save her. Now she is 1 year 9 months & Perfectly healthy.

I HOPE THIS STORY WILL HELP YOU A LOT DURING YOUR PREGNANCY PERIOD.
