We have shared plenty of stories of incredible pregnancies with our readers, and the reason for it is that each and every one of them is fascinating in its own way. Well, the process of giving birth is a miracle all by itself, and when surprise multiple pregnancies happen, the fascination only grows bigger and bigger.
Michella Meier-Morsi and her husband Mark welcomed twin girls in 2018 after a year of IVF treatments. The girls were born via cesarean section at 37 weeks and only spent six days at intensive care before they were ready to go home.
Carrying twins is more complex than a single pregnancy and Michella constantly worried if everything would be fine with her girls while pregnant. ”When we got the news that we were expecting twins, I was extremely happy, and at the same time, paralyzed by fear. I was simply so scared of losing them. I read statistics, horrible posts on twin groups about respirators and losses, and I refused to buy anything for the girls,” she wrote on Instagram in 2020.
Her pregnancy wasn’t an easy one. She had a huge belly which often turned black and with bruises because her babies were big.
”My pregnancy was awful and my body is carrying around permanent evidence of it. Filippa and Ophelia, on the other hand, have been absolutely fantastic, and we have made the finest family rhythm with them,” the mom wrote.
After giving birth, she was forced to undergo a surgery because her abdomen muscles got split, a condition known as diastasis recti.
Although most new moms experience changes in their body after giving birth, not many have the courage to speak openly about it. Michella, however, wanted to share her story because she wanted other moms to know they are not alone.
