On 02-03-03, I lost twins at 19 weeks. That’s not entirely accurate, though, is it? I had been feeling sick and was surprised when we found out I was pregnant. Usually, I got very sick, very quickly, and it was clear that I was pregnant. This time, the pregnancy test seemed like an afterthought—ruling itContinue reading “The Story of My Angel Babies: Jennifer Campbell’s Story”

I Was Her Lifeline: Kristina & Nick’s Story
Nine years ago, to our surprise and delight, we discovered that we were expecting twins. As we sat through our anatomy scan at 18 weeks, I remember Nick reassuring me that my unexplained anxiety was because of all we see as nurses in the NICU, but I knew there was something wrong.

One Twin Had Passed: Danielle & Derek’s Story
I was told from the beginning I was a ‘high risk’ pregnancy because I was carrying twins and they were mono-di so they shared the same placenta, which made it more high risk.

However, IContinue reading “Waiting for One: Lindsey & Tyler’s Story”

I went back three nerve-wracking weeks later, when I should have been 10 weeks pregnant. Instead of no baby, there wereContinue reading “Terrified: Grace & Matt’s Story”
Holding Out Hope: Colleen & Perry’s Story
We went for a dating ultrasound around 8 weeks. The tech could not find a heartbeat, completed an internal ultrasound, and told us the babies were measuring closer to 6 weeks. The ultrasound was so different from my first pregnancy that I knew something was wrong. However, I did hold out some hope that ourContinue reading “Holding Out Hope: Colleen & Perry’s Story”
