July 17th, 2019 - I’m On Bed Rest🤰🏽😞
Hey guys, it’s Nyla blogging. I hope you guys are doing well. So much has happened in the last week.
So remember in my last pregnancy update, I said I wasn’t really feeling good and I had an doctor appointment? Well at the doctor appointment, the doctor told me that they had been watching for something called TTTS which is Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome. When TTTS happens it means that their blood vessels have fused together and they’re sharing nutrition, which is fine as long as they keep sharing it back and forth.
Our little girl had given all of the nutrients to our little boy and our little boy wasn’t passing any of it back. This means that our little boy had a ton of fluid around him to the point where his heart was beating overtime and he was about to go into heart failure. Our little girl, you couldn’t even see her individual sac that she was in. It was suctioned cupped to her body and they couldn’t find a bladder on her so she was technically starving to death.
So once I found that out, Eric and I found a doctor at the hospital where he worked at that does fetal surgeries. The doctor drained a liter of fluid off of the little boy sac, which was a ton for a little tiny baby. The doctor used a laser and they separate the blood vessels. So this surgery was either going to work and it was going to save our babies lives or it was gonna cause so much trauma that I was going to just deliver and would have lost them. There was just a 50/50 chance and Eric and I just had to go with it and go with our faith and prayer that everything was going to be okay.
I had the surgery yesterday and Eric and I had to wait 24 hours for results. Eric and I went and did another ultrasound and our little miracle babies had survived that very traumatic surgery. Now I’m on bed rest and the doctors been checking up on me. Eric haven’t left my side either. I just had to update you guys on everything. I’m just so happy that our little boy and little girl are okay<3
