The fear of what you went thru made me and my wife opt for CS for our twins. They were our 2nd birth, Boys, unidentical but I cherish them like heaven. They are my world now. Hard luck bro on your loss. May you find comfort.

Ikoko lo fo, omi odanu.

So sorry bro, another twins are on the way.

We thank God for the life of the mother, God will be with the other baby.

A twinless twin is a person who had a twin who has died. There are many causes for such losses and different issues facing each type of twin loss.

A twinless twin who has lost a twin brother or sister before or shortly after birth due to miscarriage, vanishing twin syndrome, stillbirth, or some other complication, does not have memories of their twin. However, many have claimed to sense something missing from their lives even before they ever learn they once had a twin. They say they can feel a real sense of grief for not only the loss of their twin, but also the lack of memories.

You shouldn't have posted that pics.
Someone is still nursing the death of one of their twin baby and all you could do was post a picture of your own twin.
Ah ah! Have some level of pity for him
Miserable comforter

Kindly modify
Thanks!!
I feel for him. Thanx for your message. Will pull out the pix. Thanx again

At OP! Sorry about the loss of the baby.
You still have a boo to call your own, cherish and love him/her as usual, it'll only get better.
A father in the making, that's what you are now
Congratulations

BomboyOnline:
So sorry to hear about your loss. Cherish Boo, and the ones that are coming after her.

The Nigerian health care system have a long way to go. First of all, a twin pregnancy should have never been allowed to go full term not to talk of 3 weeks over nine months. Who allows a woman carrying twins to labor for hours? C section should have been considered as soon as the babies weren't coming.

According to OP the doctor did suggest it but the wife refused. They can't force her you know.

They're cute...
But please allow the OP grieve.

Thanks so much. It hurt more when I went home to get some stuffs in the baby room and saw all those things we bought in pairs. Cots, wardrobe,carriers, baby car seats, and the stroller which my baby just forced me to assemble the second one just yesterday evening. When she said she might give birth anytime soon.
For pregnant people I'd like to give this advice:
It turned out the baby had been dead for over 48 hours before today. For a set of monozygotic twins(sharing same sac),the doctors thought it's a miracle there were no complications. To think we still went for checkup on last week Monday when she felt pain overnight,where the doctor advised to opt for CS that it is safer as against what people think. Especially for multiple births. She said the babies were perfectly grown and were just waiting inside. That they will be fine if delivered right away. But my wife felt she could do it by herself. It's all good though we'll get over it. I'll start deleting those pictures from her phone and dispose of those double things we won't be needing so as to make it go away quick.

Pele, hopefully, Baba God will soothe ur pain.

18wheeler:

Yeah I was irrational. Apologies to the OP. I lost a boy in his mother's womb in 2014 in a motor accident in jos. Was painful and I realized the pain of a brother. I've pulled out the pix. And I still grieve with OP, May you find solace in the Almighty. It's not easy but you'll find happiness. That I pray for.

GloShare:


God will bless you.

There is a way doctors can smartly coerce a woman into making the right decisions.

If the doctor had stood her grounds and painstakingly explained ALL the risks involved with prolong labour and allowing the twins go full term, maybe the woman would have changed her mind.

As she had gone overdue, she should have been going daily to the hospital to have fetal movements checked. If this was done, the doctors would have been able to detect reduced fetal movements with one of twins and quickly intervened (c-section).

I wonder if the dead baby wasn't detected before the prolonged labour. I doubt it was which further questions the credibility of the hospital and it's medical team. If they had detected one heart beat and not two at the time she was brought into the hospital, why put her through the agonies of a long, painful labour? C-section should have been carried out at that stage.
