I went in for my surgical yesterday and discovered I was carrying twins. If anything, it made me more confident in my decision.

Though termination was what I wanted 110%, I won’t lie that there wasn’t still a little part of me that was sad that I’d be terminating two, not just one.

Medically, it’s the same procedure. You’re still charged the same (they don’t charge you extra for the second embryo hehe).

The only difference I guess is they’ll do an additional ultrasound once they’re done to make sure everything has been removed.

What you are feeling is so completely natural. I was definitely thrown for a loop when they told me, but I am happy and confident in my decision.

I won’t say I’m not feeling sad and grieving in my own way. I think abortion, no matter how many embryos or how far along you are, is a heartbreak to go through no matter what the situation is. But please know you are not alone! 💓
