Another story shared...

Thank you for sharing your story with us... I am sure it will give many women hope...

“Ok well it all started when i was 15 years old.  I continued to get cyst's (sorry bout spelling) on my ovaries & on 4 occasions had to have surgery to get them removed. Also many times admitted for other treatment as was in so much pain so often.  After further medical investigating i was diagnosed with PCOD & endometiosis & my grandparents who where my legal guardians & myself where told that due to these conditions & scaring it would never be possible for me to have children.

The dr's also told my grandparents that they wanted to do a full hysterectomy, but needed them to sign consent as i was still a minor. I remember my grandmother in tears as they came in & told me. I voiced that i didn't want anymore op's & wanted to wait & see what happened when i got older. I was hopeful for a cure or treatment.  So my grandparents told dr's they did not consent to it & that the decision should be made by me when i was older.

So after that i always had it in my head id never have my own children, physically impossible they reckoned. I loved kids so much & all kid use to cling to & love me. I always spent as much time as possible with others lil ones. Then I started working in child care.

When i was 22 i was getting really sick all the time as in vomiting everyday. Got to the point i cried to my partner at time that i was going to move into toilet cause i was there being sick all the time anyway. After weeks of this i started to get strange feelings in my stomach sometimes painful other times i then couldn't describe feeling as id felt nothing like it before. I went to Dr in the end having lost a considerable amount of weight & symptoms continuing. Dr thought it had to be something toil do with my ovaries but wanted ultrasound of them to be sure. He just gave me form & sent me to get test done, he didn't do pregnancy test as i couldn't have any kids to his knowledge.

I remember so well laying on the table getting test done talking to lady, when she said oh your must feel very Very blessed. Both of them are fine. I looked to her puzzled, i thought to myself that was a very strange way to talk about my ovaries. I asked both of what? She looked at me quiet shocked & said i was pregnant with twins & congratulated me.

I was silent & still with disbelief. I had all sorts going through my head, how could i be pregnant at all?? Let alone with twins. I started to cry both out of happiness and disbelief. When i came out from test i didn't know how to tell my partner & was still shocked myself. He said after that he had never seen me as pale as when i walked out, that he thought id been told i only have a short time to live. My pregnancy was classed as a high risk pregnancy & i attended hospital appointments twice a week to start then some times more often as i got heavier pregnant.

I was already 4 1/2 months when i first found out. At nearly 31 weeks i was in a car acciedent. I was in back seat of vehicle & driver had a seizure while Driving & drove into a parked car. I got out of vehicle & my long white skirt was covered in blood. I felt no pain as i was in shock. People that had come out of houses after hearing crash where trying to get me to sit down & saying they had called an ambulance. In my state of shock all i wanted was to go home to my then partner. As we where still on the same street i walked home. I will never forget his face when he looked up at me as i came through the door. He said we got to get u to the hospital now! I cried & didn't want to go i Thought my miracle babies where dead. I was devastated. My partner got me to the hospital they hooked me up to a strap that they could hear babies heart beats through. Within 20 minutes of being at hospital i was in theatre & my two beautiful babies where brought into the world. They spent 3 1/2 weeks in special care nursery then they got to come home. All my dreams had come true.

I was told after having them that was it again i wouldn't have any more. I was still happy & felt blessed. My twins are 8 nearly 9 now. Since then i have had one miscarriage & 2 still born children. But on Australia day 2009 my beautiful little boy came into the world."
