Intro, loss of twins at 18 and 22 weeks

Hi Guys, It breaks my heart to be joining you ladies but I’m glad there is a place I can go for support. I’ve been reading a lot of the posts for a while but I wanted to introduce myself. I’ve struggled a lot with getting pregnant and use fertility treatments. It took my husband and I about three years but then had a miscarriage at about 9 weeks. We started trying again a couple months later but it took us a year. We were so excited to find out we were pregnant again and had the same due date as the first baby. We then found out it was with twins. I’ve always wanted this and everything was going so well. I went to my doctor appointment on September 9 and both heart beats were great. I went home but as the evening progressed I was getting pressure and what I now know were contractions. I called the doctor in the middle of the night and he told me it should pass but to come in the next day if it continued. I then called again around 7am because I had started to bleed. When I got to the doctor my first baby’s bag was bulging. I was admitted right away to the hospital but a couple hours later my water broke. I delivered my first son, Randy John, at 18 weeks. My placenta did not want to come out so they cut the cord higher, sewed it and left it alone. I spent the next week in the hospital but all had calm down, I had closed up and the second baby was doing very well. I spent another two weeks at home with no complications but the third week I seemed to have more problems. They thought they were because of the first baby’s placenta but they will never be 100% sure. On October 10, at 22 weeks and 1 day, I was having a lot of contractions so I told my husband we needed to head to the hospital. Right after that my water broke. We were on our way when I knew the baby was not waiting. I delivered Lucas John in the car on the way to the hospital. He too was born alive but too little to help. He also made it for a short time and then passed away. Most days I’ve been doing pretty well but today seems rougher again. I miss my boys. My family had planned on throwing my shower this coming weekend which is also my birthday and it’s so hard to think it’s all gone and we will have to start from square one again. We will be trying again soon but I wish I had my boys with me. I know how to cope in healthy ways but even doing so doesn’t take the pain away.

I am so very sorry for your loss of Randy John and Lucas John.
I, too, delivered multiples too early for them to survive. It's difficult to grieve for each baby and what it would've been like to raise multiples. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. And extra peace this weekend on your birthday and scheduled shower.
