Diary Entry: Discovering I Was Pregnant with Twins

What a shock!

I had just found out that I was pregnant. The IVF worked the first time, and I was overwhelmed with joy. As soon as the news sank in, I instinctively started nesting, even though I was unsure how many eggs had settled in.



At 5 weeks, I fainted and went to the hospital, only to discover that both eggs had settled in, meaning I was expecting twins! The fertility clinic advised me to have scans every two weeks to monitor the twins' progress. This new reality was thrilling and daunting at the same time.

I had to pay close attention to my body, particularly because my cerebral palsy was affected by the pregnancy. The first trimester was a challenge, as I endured a full 16 weeks of sickness. My diet was limited to ginger biscuits and certain fruits I could stomach. Tea became a comforting ritual, and occasionally, I treated myself to a fizzy drink like Coke. Interestingly, I developed a sudden allergy to chicken and gold, which meant I couldn't eat chicken or wear any gold jewellery.

Despite the challenges, the anticipation of meeting my twins kept me motivated and hopeful. Each day brought new experiences and adjustments, and I learned to embrace the changes with an open heart. And could not wait to see how my body would cope with the changes.

  3. I recently visited a consultant-led women’s health clinic in London after finding them online, and the experience felt very reassuring from the start. Being seen directly by an experienced consultant made a noticeable difference, as everything was explained clearly and in detail without feeling rushed. http://thelunaclinic.com/
