4 kids under 4

by Brittany

I have a 3 year old girl and an 8 month old boy, both born by c-section. After my son was born, I didn't start taking birth control immediately. When I started feeling nauseous at Christmas, I suspected a pregnancy. When I had an ultrasound in January and the technician told me there were twins, I was SHOCKED!

I am now 5 months pregnant (both twin babies are growing on target and doing well). My doctor said I am a high-risk mother and will need special attention as time goes on. He has already told me to 'take it easy,' which could mean bed rest next month.

I already feel so big and uncomfortable. What is 7 months going to feel like? I am worried about delivering early and the health of the babies...I live in a 3rd world country! My husband feels that traveling home is unnecessary and too expensive, but I feel that there is no other option. There is only a small window left where I can travel, so I am not so sure if it will happen. Needless to say, I am scared and want the best care for both the babies and myself! Praying I last till 37 weeks...
