Two for one- personal twin pregnancy experience part 2

My journey of pregnancy was full of roller -coaster ride, 10-11week had gone as like before ones. But 12th week was horrifying for me in 12th week my marriage anniversary came, we decided just we two will  celebrate it at home only. As per celebration we just cut the small cake followed by traditional Indian food. Having a small celebration just two of us on our big day we had pay heavily for it. I slept on 10a.m and at 5.p.m I was not feeling good. My stomachache started and soon I started vomiting. I thought it is normal because from last few weeks puking twice a day has become routine. But it didn't stopped after that I somehow managed to sleep but at 6.10 I vomited again then on 6.45 again. My man and I was really worried what is happening and I was felling fully exhausted and it is taking my whole strength and m felling pain also in my stomach.
Because till them my stomach has become empty, We thought it will stop but it is becoming more severe at 7.30 we rushed to hospital in emergency and the doctor available there is a physician, as the day was Sunday all other doctors are off the duty. Then the doctor available there contacted Gyno-1 but she failed to contact her( don't know why sometimes doctor don't show importance to the patients condition, yes I agree they too have their personal lives, still they themselves has chosen such profession that demands your maximum time).
Coming back to our topic, then we contacted Gyno-2 and she told us name of two injections ( stemetil and asoprazole)
Which according to her I need to take them as soon as possible. Meanwhile all this is happening my condition keeps on deteriorating I continued vomiting empty stomach. I was just puking saliva type stuff but that puking itself was taking my whole breath out and my full energy too.
Then I thing just because of my babies luck we got both the injections available in hospitals only.After taking injections I just rested and slept for 2hrs.
This whole ssituation we both have gone through was not less than a nightmare for us. I personally was feeling very low and also blaming myself why I am having babies I was just feeling out of the world that why God has choosen me for all this trouble. On the other side I know the happines, joy, love I am going to have. My both the Gyno always says your trouble, pain and difficultlies will also get double with your whole parenting journey.
My man also has gone through a lot in that few hours. Firstly, mentally is my wife fine and my babies should be ok they should not get little bit of harm. Secondarily, the physical exhaustion from home to hospital and hospital to home too many rounds plus to be always there to give me support when I am puking and to clean all the mess created by me. Lastly, after this all he have to give me mental support that don't worry everything is fine and nothing will happen.


Somehow my first trimester ended with a lots of ups and downs.


Second Trimester

Puking machine


The puking problem has not stopped following me in my second trimester also. Everytime I puke it was like insanely sore muscles and a certainty that I have  torn something internally. I personally don't like to have muh medicines because of aftereffects it can have on my babies. But if, u feel that your situation is not coming under control, without having medicines. Than you can go for it as per prescribed by your Gyno. But it will be good if you can avoid it or limit yourself with one tablet a day. You can also do these following things

1 Eat small meals on regular intervals.
2 Take proper rest.
3 Don't ever try to suppress your hunger.
4 Drinkwater between your meals
5 Try to take breakfast as sion as possible
6 Try to drink lemon water ( it helped me a lot)
7 Try to have cold food as compared to hot ones
8 Stay Hydrated
9 Track your nausea# so you can get alert at that time)
10 Take pregnancy Multivitamins on time

Gastric problem

Second Trimester was quiet smooth 13th-15th week's has gone with very ease. During 16th week I started feeling severe heartburn, that too in night it becomes worse whatever I will eat heartburn keeps following me. If by mistake also I have taken little spicy food that night I can't sleep, no antiacid in the world can work for me. Due to the fear of this I developed fear of food. But food is your life and in this case I have to feed and have to help to develope two more lifes. And this heartburn continued with my whole pregnancy.

Inorder to avoid gastric problem
Firstly-
Avoid excess of food items which are gastric in nature like potato, cauliflower, breads, butter etc and also avoid too much spicy food because spicy food can lead you to some serious trouble.
Secondly-
You can go with mild anti-acids and if you can go for the syrups then it is best because syrups are mild and don't harm your infant and if you are having gastric problem you an easily go with syrups and medicines twice a day without giving it much- to- think. That severe heartburn really spoils your day and sleep too so you must take care of it.


Breathing problem

In 19th week I started to develop breathing problem. This problem also gave mw a panic feeling. I can't ladown for more than 20mns in a span. If I tries to do so I found it harder to breathe. I contacted my Gyno-1 she told me it's nothing to worry just cause I was carrying more than 1 baby. Size of my uterus is increasingly fastly and is becoming big which is pressuring the diaphragm,which as a result is causing me breathing problem. But breathing problem always kept me high on breathe if I do little bit of extra work I would just become short of breathe.
For breathing problem you can follow this:


1- Change Position as soon as you feel breathless move to the position you find it easier to breathe.

2- Don't Overdo listen to your body signals and whenever you feel you are exceeding your limits try to slow down.

3-  Practise Good Posture try to keep your shoulde're and upper body straight.

4- prop some extra pillows while sleeping just to keep your upper body little high.

Urinary Tract infection

Somehow may be due to travelling I get caught by UTI during my 23rdweek. UTI that too during pregnancy seriously I headphone through the hell due to it. Extra discharge, burning and pain there with that cute baby bump is really getting difficult for me. My Gynos has prescribed me vaginal agents. Because during pregnancy we should've having medicines orally because directly or indirectly it can harm baby. According to my radiologist I got caught by UTI so easily because  I do have a lot of excess  fluid in my amniotic sac. Don't know exactly whatever may be the reason but I will call and say all the would be mother's please do whatever you want to do but try to protect yourself from vaginal inflections during pregnancy.


Ultrasound time

We have gone for our next ultrasound on 18th week I was waiting very eagerly to meet my babies ads when I saw them I just got so excited as usual but was nervous at the same time. Doctor told us this month ultrasound is very important as far babies development is concerned.
Doctor then told us both the babies are doing fine and is growing well. I too is now able to track them without much difficulties. Just wants to know everything about them

And yes how we can forget that cute  belly bump. Your belly which carries your babies helps to nurture them and if you are pregnant with multiple babies in 4-5 months only you will have belly like nine months singleton mother. You will be started to look like a big giant creature.

With all these sweet pains of having my world in my hands and trying to be brave anyhow I completed my second trimester.
