Esar Alfred & Naszeem Shakur we finally got pregnant 14 months later. I got pregnant with my second set of twins 14 months after the loss of my first set of twins boys. I was doing pretty good and even got the cerclage put in as my dr.promise me at 13 weeks. I was experiening some gas pain all day. When I got home my hubby told me he want to go run an errand but in my heart i didn't want him to go so I told him I was feeling funny and to cancel his errand.
I went to sleep for two hours woke up went to the bathroom to pee and wipe my self and all I saw was lots and lots of blood I look in the toilet and could not see the bottom of the toilet. My dr. told me to go to the er right away so one of the dr at the er did an exam and saw no bleeding then did u/s and my wondertwins were doing wonderful.
So I was sent home and my dr put me on bedrest. Two weeks later I started to feel like I could get up to wash dishes and after 15 minutes of standing there a gush came down I was so scare to look I though my water broke so my hubby took the tissue and went down my underwear and gently wipe blood.
I was rush to the er and I was 15 weeks. The other dr who saw me there at 13 weeks which was 2 weeks before had exam me and told me she remember seeing me here not to long ago and hope everything was fine. Sure enough the wondertwins were fine. Nov 18, 2000 my tail bone was hurting so bad I went to the er on my own. Once again my hubby was not home and once again my dr was out of town. The dr at the er told me everything was fine and sent me home. I call my hubby and told him the situtaion and told him I think he should stay in with me for the night. My hubby was on his way home and I took car service home. At this time I'm 19 weeks. The moment I walk in to my home my water bag to baby A had broke. I did not change no clothes I was soak and wet and
turn right back around and caught a cab to the er. The nurse
at the er said we just sent u home and I told her that my
water had broke. She explain to me that there was nothing they could do at 19 weeks.
I was admitted and the u/s was done to confirmed that my
water had broke. The covering dr want to take the cerclage out and induced with out not even letting me discuss it with my husband. My husband for some strange reason came to the hospital because he kept calling home and he felt this weird feeling sure enough his gut feelings were right he knew something was wrong once again. He immediatley started to cry, he could not belive we were going to lose our babies again. I told my husband that the dr wants me to deliver but my husband didn't want to do that as long as I was not contracting.
The next day came and the dr tried to convince us to induce but God is good, my private dr came strolling in and said they were not going to touch me as long as I don't contract, get fever, whiteblood cell stay good. I was in the hospital for a week and doing good. The water even fullback in not all the way but enough to help his lung. But unfortunately the water came back out and the baby came out the bag, and his tiny foot was in my cervix. The stitch
was taken out and I started contracting right away. 6 hrs
later I was given suppostories to induce the labor. I deliver Ali Ezra & Khallid Fuquan. They were the cutest little babies I ever saw. Ali Ezra was 13 oz and 10 1/2 inches and Khallid Fuquan was 15 oz and 10 1/2 inches. I was talking to my sons induvidually and told them both how much I love them, and we try like hell but mommy had to said good bye.
That was the hardest thing I ever in my life had to do is face all 4 of my children and tell them good bye. I was grief stricken that now I lost 4 boys with in 1 yr. My hubby was sleeping thru all this he was so tired from all the hrs he stay up with me. My husband didn't see our first set of sons but he saw our second set and he think the babies look like him I let him live. It does get pretty hard around mother's day and the hoildays knowing we will never have that opportunity to be with our sons.
Hopefully God will bless us with our miracle baby.
May 9, 1999 & november 25, 2000 we will always cherish the memory of our 4 angels.
