I always read these articles about twins, twin pregnancies, twin births and they all seem to try and disregard the fact that some women naturally get pregnant with multiples. Now your probably already starting to jump to conclusions that I'm trying to say us who do are 'better' than those who need science and doctors to do so, I'm not, not at all. To be honest I can't imagine what it must feel like to know you can't get pregnant on your own or at all, I don't know what it's like to suffer through a miscarriage, or get your hopes up for a family to be told you can't. I actually think to myself after reading all those stories 'wow Lord! Why me? Why was I given two healthy babies the very first time we tried and some don't get any?' But that's not even what this is about.
I feel after reading these articles, post, comments as a mother of natural twins that we get put into a catergory that is kind of pushed to the side as if we should not 'brag about' the fact it was natural. That it's wrong or we are arrogant or things of that nature. To me that is wrong to belittle someone in general is wrong no matter the circumstance! No I didn't have to spend thousands to get my babies, no I didn't have to suffer through heart breaks before creating mine but I should be able to talk about and be amazed at how God did give me mine.
Because quite frankly the fact that within 3 days of my marriage being restored we created two tiny beings the first time that it 'could' have happened astonishes me. It proves to me that God has a plan much bigger than my own for my life. That less then two weeks after conception I had a positive pregnancy test which is usually rare, the fact that within 5 weeks after conception we saw for the first time two itty bitty dots (really at that point still) so much so that the actual sack was still in the placenta that one of them had come out of. That's how soon we found out and saw our sweet babies. The fact that once I wrapped my head around the thought of "I am going to be a mother to not only one baby but two at the same time for the first time" I knew it was something big. The fact that when we found out they were both boys I knew in my inner most being these were going to be special babies in the kingdom of God. That their names that were given to me by Him meant exactly what they would live up to! Last but not least the attacks at the end and the horrendous delivery meant only that the devil was already trying to take us out but would not succeed!!
So to every Woman of multiples that were created naturally stand up and own it!! Because not everyone has more than one child at a time and these days fewer who do did not have a hand in it!! It's a special thing and an amazing thing so I'm done with letting people or the world act like its wrong to ask or answer yes they were natural! I am a much stronger, braver, wiser woman than I ever knew I would be and I won't let anyone belittle my pregnancy or my babies or for that matter my story!!
