The Birth of my Twins

When the doctor told me that I was having twins I thought to myself; “Twins? Who? What? When? Where? Why?” I cried like a baby the moment I found out because I was a single mother and the father of my then only son, and now twins are not in our lives. He was incarcerated when I found out that I was pregnant which made him believe that they weren’t his. He was incarcerated without a bail and was facing some time, 3 - 5 years to be exact. I knew that the twins were his because I knew who I had been with but I didn’t push the issue until I birthed them because he was incarcerated. I told him that we would get paternity test to prove that they were his when they were born. I was so emotional and had cried a river and the

I went to my mother’s house to pick up my son when I got there I just picked him up as he rushed towards the door to greet me in his walker and that beautiful smile which just melts my heart. I held him so tight and tears were rolling down my face. My mom had come into the living room and I just shouted out, “I’m having twins”. She was so happy for me but when she looked into my face and saw all the hurt, and the pain that I had in my eyes, all she could do was hug me as I was still hugging my son she wrapped her arms around both of us and assured me that everything was going to be alright. She already knew the situation that I was …show more content…
My family and friends had gave me a wonderful baby shower when I was 7 ½ months because my doctor told me that I wouldn’t make it to full term. I had my baby shower at the beginning of October of 2003. I had received so many great gifts and they had everything that they needed and then some. Put it this way, I didn’t have to worry about buying anything for a while. My last doctor’s visit they ended up sending me straight to the hospital which was November 3, 2003 to deliver because my blood pressure had kept going up. I wasn’t due until that December. I was 36 weeks when I delivered, a week away from being full term. They induced my labor which was by far the most painful experience that I’ve ever encountered. The pain was so intense that they had to give me the epidural early. In the middle of the doctor administering my epidural my water had broken in the middle of them putting the needle in my back. They told me not to move but it was so hard not to. I screamed to the top of lungs to keep me from moving. Once they finished and the medicine working, I was so relieved. My family and some friends came to be my support system. I was very grateful for them being there with

    Before I went to the hospital my family and friends tried really hard to keep me calm before this big endeavor that would change my life forever. One of the things they did was talk to my pastor at my church about blessing me before the surgery. My priest blessed me by saying in a holy voice, “Please God protect Emily from all harm during this surgery, and please be with her during this hard experience.” Another wonderful gesture my family did for me was put on a birthday party, since my birthday was only a couple days after my surgery when I would be still recovering. After the celebration came to a close I went upstairs to go to bed, but before I fell asleep my mother came into the room with a gloomy look on her face.…

    Wouldn't it be awesome to have a twin, don't you think? They could always help you at sports. First, I think I’d like that because you could have someone to throw or pass the ball to.

    I possess an asset that few other applicants have: I am a twin. I see this as an asset because it has given me perspective that my peers may not have had the opportunity to learn at this point in our lives.

    I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful. Surprisingly, my whole outlook on giving birth and its emotional impact changed when I gave birth to my first child, Joy. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago.…
