Dia 1 de Janeiro fez 10 anos que tive as minhas gémeas, a Carolina e a Beatriz!
O inicio da gravidez correu muito bem, nem enjoos nem má disposição, só sono, muito sono.
Até que às 30 semanas tive ameaça de
parto prematuro e fiquei internada em repouso ABSOLUTO, o que significa sem me
puder levantar da cama nem para comer nem para ir à casa de banho. Fiquei assim a saber o que é uma arrastadeira, objecto para mim até então completamente desconhecido!
Às 34
semanas tiraram-me a medicação. Normalmente o corpo demora um tempinho a
recompor-se, mas não foi o caso. E elas nasceram. A Beatriz com 1,910 kg e a
Carolina com 1,605 kg. A Carolina esteve uns dias na incubadora, mas
só por precaução. Depois continuei internada mais 18 dias. Vim para casa
ainda ela só tinha 1, 900kg. Eu já não aguentava mais estar na maternidade.
Estava a dar em doida, só chorava. A médica acedeu. Viemos para casa. Casa
esta que eu já não via há quase 2 meses. Senti-me estranha, parecia tudo novo e
irreal.
Isolei-me do mundo, entrei em depressão pós-parto, fiquei com medo de
conduzir, não conseguia sair sozinha com as duas, eram tão pequenas, tão
frágeis!
Era eu e elas o dia todo, mas estava tão só. Eu passava os dias a tratar
delas. Tínhamos uma rotina planeada, elas mamavam em horários
intercalados. Quando terminava tudo com uma, começava a tratar da outra. Mama,
suplemento, mudar a fralda, adormecer. Mama, suplemento, mudar a
fralda, adormecer. Ele ajudava imenso quando chegava a casa. Eu
tinha um tempinho para tomar banho e ia dormir. Ele tratava da última mamada do
dia, para eu puder dormir.
Passaram 10 anos e por muito que gostasse que continuassem pequeninas para sempre, estou profundamente orgulhosa pela forma como estão a crescer. Sinto-me grata e abençoada por todos os momentos que passamos em família e pela alegria que me trazem todos os dias.
Parabéns meus amores.
On the 1st of January my twin girls turned 10!
The early pregnancy went very well, never felt sick just sleepy, too sleepy.
Until at week 30 I got into premature labor and was hospitalized in ABSOLUTE rest, which means I could not get out of bed to eat or to go to the bathroom. So now I know what a bedpan is, an object completely unknown to me until then!
At 34 weeks they took away my medication. Normally the body takes a little time to get back to normal, but it was not the case. And they were born. Beatriz was 1.910 kg and Carolina 1.605 kg. Carolina was a few days in the incubator, but just to make sure everything was alright. Then we continued hospitalized for more 18 days.

When I came home she only had 1, 900kg. I no longer could stay at the hospital, I was going crasy and just cried. The doctor agreed. We came home. Home that I had not seen in almost two months. I felt strange, everything seemed new and unrealistic.
I isolated myself from the world, went into postpartum depression, I was afraid to drive, could not go out alone with the two, they were so small, so fragile!

It was me and them all day long, but I was so alone. I spent the days taking care of them. We had a planned routine, they nursed in interleaved schedules. When I finished everything with one, I would began to take care of the other. Breastfeeding, bottle, diaper changing, sleep. Breastfeeding, bottle, diaper changing, sleep.
My husband helped a lot when he came home. I had a few minutes to shower and go to sleep. He took care of the last feeding of the day, so I could sleep.
10 years went by and as much as I would like them to continue wee forever, I am deeply proud of the way they are growing. I am grateful and blessed for every moment we spend as family and the joy they bring me every single day.
Congratulations my loves.
