I was at work on mother's day last year 5/9/99 when I lost my twins boys. All morning I keep feeling trickles come down but didn't think any thing of it. Around 10:30 am I started to have low dull back pains. Sat for awhile then went to the ladies room and that when I felt my first baby came down I immediatly started to panic. I was rushed to the hospital. The moment the resident ob/gyn push me back on the table my first son was at the entrance of my vagina. The medical team told me not to push because I would push the other baby out.

So I'm very frustrated because my private dr was out of town and my husband was out of town also. I felt so alone. The baby stay in the vagina but the moment my private dr walk into the room the baby came out. The dr told me most likely I will lose the other baby, and right after he said it my other son came right down.

This was the life time dream my husband and I want because my hubby was the only boy and we also battle four years of
inferitly. My sons Esar Alfred & Naszeem Shakur was such a heartbreaking loss. I was so devasted because my husband did not know I was losing our babies when he was on his way back home. It wasn't until he got home and did not see me there and call a friend, and she told him I was at the hospital. My husband still didn't know what was going on, but he came to the hospital. The first thing he asked when he saw me was are the babies ok? I looked at him and my eyes went down. He saw the yellow envelope on my stomach
and he picked it up. That is when he saw our beautiful sons
pictures and foot prints he started to cry right away and he
said his heart was so overwhelmed with sadness. My husband and I went a whole week trying to figure why us and what may have went wrong. The dr. told us it was Prom and it cause me to go in to labor right away, but the dr told us next time I got pregnant he would put a cerclage in for precaution.

It was very hard living with the grief of our loss but my husband and I will always have Esar & Naszeem in our hearts.

Here my second lost
