Q: teen going thru stillbirth of twins
asked by: byebyetwins on March 30th, 2009

I am 17 years old and i dated my ex for 4 months and he dumped me. i didnt know i was pregnant for about 4 or 5 months. when i found out in December when i wasn't with my ex anymore. I didnt tell anyone. not even my parents. i did everything by my self. i went to a friend who's stepdad is a doctor and had him do all these tests for me. at first, i didnt know i was having twins and when i lost my first baby, a girl, I named her Alba Mae. It was a still birth. My best guess is that my drinking nd being around smokers had a huge part of the cause. I decided I had to tell someone. so i told some friends and they told me I had to tell my ex. Its hard enough to tell ur ex that hates ur guts that ur pregnant but to tell them that the baby is dead, is so much worse. Then I found out that I was still pregnant with Alba's twin, a boy I named Cameron Micheal. When I told my ex (while I was still pregnant with Cameron) he called me a liar so I was left all alone. I was already having problems with Cameron, he would kick hard and I would have really bad cramps and would start bleeding like I was on my period. So I had my friend take me to see his stepdad and I lost Cameron as well. I currently have a bf who i love and it is hard to talk to him bc it happened while we frist started dating. i Just dont know how to handle this. i still feel like they are still in me and are just sleeping or whatever. A girl in my class just had a baby so everytime i see her with her baby, i keep thinking "That was supposed to be me." i miss them so much it hurts everyday and idk how to handle this. idk how to cope with this. im too young. help me please.

thanks
thanks nicole. yeah i know that they are in a better place now. my boyfriend now is amazing and actually came to me and was like "i can't watch u be torn up like this, you need to talk to me. it hurts that you keep it all to yourself" I never relized that it would hurt him like it did. he was almost crying and he never ever crys. So we talk now and he even wanted me to go to a therapist but thats not for me. He actually gave me a promise ring bc this whole ordeal made us so much closer. I still miss them and I think about them constantly. I understand that it wasn't my time but I still think about all the "what ifs" and "it coulda been amazing to be a mom" but now me and my bf are just going to be together for as long as we are ment to be together and we are already discussing if we want to be together 5 10 years from now and we both see that happening. HE draws tattoos and he drew me up one for my babies. IT sucks that I never told my parents but they have enough going on that I can't tell them right now. plus they wouldn't believe me.

so sorry for your loss. How did your parents not know though if you had a stillbirth and went to the hospital to deliver? Would they have not gotten a bill or known that you were in the hospital?

it doesnt sound real at all im sorry but im not beleiving this at all. Ive been pregnant 2 times with twins and have lost one twin both times and you can def tell that you are pregnant and as for not using real names that is not true cause they always ask for some form of i.d.

wow...
that's so weird... i was going through the same thing.... me and my well we we're never together but i guess buddy for two years had a little boy and i losted him. Me and the guy had intercourse before i left the country and i didn't have my period but i figured it was the change in climate and weather that stopped it. i came back and partyed like crazy drank every night.... than one night i started bleeding like crazy... the next day i went to the emergency room and there pulling a baby boy out of me.... i told the guy and we both cried and talked for hours... now i'm dating someone else and i'm pregnant... and guess what i'm having a boy..... there's not a day that goes by that i don't think of my first son... and me and his father don't talk anymore because he can't handle that i'm pregnant and i'm having a boy from another guy. so it's hard and i know what your going through...

yeah, my ex is talking to me kinda but whenever something related to children comes up, he flips out and wont talk to me for a while. his gf hates me. she doesn't want him talking to me. she is ultra controling. She is the one who convinced my ex that i was lieing. im not that kind of person. and neway, what would be the purpose, i already was with another guy and he was more supportive. but losing Alba and Cameron killed me. I still cry a lot about them. i vist their graves a lot too. My bf goes with me everytime. He wanted to help me raise Cameron, and i woulda loved that. he is the only reason that I am handling this whole situation as well as I am. im glad ur pregnant again and are happy. you'll never stop thinking about ur first son but as long as u come to terms with the fact that the baby boy who ur pregnant with now isn't him, it'll all get better. hopefully (if u this is what u want) u and ur first sons father will get on better terms. I hope that part is better for u than it is in my situation =]

I'm sorry, but I have lost 2 children. My first was 4 months old when she passed away. My second was a stillborn at 32 weeks. Believe me when I say that when you have a stillborn you know how far along you are at least to some extent. If what you are talking about is untrue, it's not funny or cool at all. To all the women who truly go through such a terrible experience this is no laughing matter.

You are right though a clinic would never turn away a bleeding pregnant woman. BUT they are also NOT equiped to care for a delivering woman. So what they WOULD do is get her over to a hospital ASAP!!

And lastly you said you didn't know how far along you were but in your 1st post you stated you were about 4-5 months. SO either you do know or you don't. I mean you knew their genders, right? How much did they weigh? That will tell you about how far along you were.

I know about how far along I was but you have to understand that when all this is going on, I can't take in all the information at once. I'm sorry that you think I'm lieing. There is absolutly no reason to lie about something this serious. I'm not some stupid teenager that just makes up stuff to get attention.
I'm still processing all this information. Hospitals and clinics can not do something against a patients will either. If the patient says that they do not want to go to the hospital or some treatment, the clinic or hospital can not force that on them unless the patient is declared incompident (sorry for the spelling errors). I was not declared incompident and I had gone to a clinic recommended to me by Planned Parenthood so they were equiped enough for what was happening.
When I said I wasn't sure how far along I was, I assumed you read my original post and thought you wanted like exactly how far along, because that I personally do not know.
I am sorry for your lose, I really am. But why would someone lie on the internet, and keep talking about it with people she doesn't even know just for fun? I personaly don't know and would be mad too if I thought someone was lieing. Yeah, my story sounds retarded and kinda stupid but it's nothing less than the truth, unfortunatly
