A very sad story


One of the most exciting part of a married life is having a baby.
In our case, it was not our first time.
For those people who are not aware of us...we now have a 5-year old daughter named Althea.
To make the long story short, after those mentioned years when my wife recently showed signs similar to that of a pregnant women, right away she has undergone a pregnancy test.
And to my surprise...it was positive!
It was the 10th of December when we found out that were both having a baby again.
And since she was pregnant, her cravings for a food to eat became very specific.
If my memory still serves me well, my wife requested for a puto-sulot, a barbecue from Goldilocks, Siopao from Kowloon,
and Chopsuey to name a few.
But a week before that when we had our Christmas furlough at Tagaytay, I remember she wanted to eat "Bulalo."
She sleeps a lot, she has a very good appetite and most of all she became so sensitive.
I was so happy that I grabbed a photo of her "PT," and uploaded it via IG, Tumbler, and even on Facebook.
Of course, who wouldn't be so happy and so proud of it...becoming a dad again is such a very wonderful feeling!
And the responses of friends from my FB account was very overwhelming for it reaches a hundred plus likes and a very warm congratulations.
But recently, when we had our OB checked-up after a transvaginal procedure...the result showed a three sac, the two smaller sac were 5 weeks less and the remaining one bigger than the two were aged more than 5 weeks.
In short, were expecting not just one, two, but three babies.
I was so surprised when was told about it. Actually mixed emotions as to how my wife and I would raise the triplets.
But since my wife was irregular the conflict of her pregnancy arises.
For one, the sac where the babies supposed to develop were still undeveloped.
And what confronts us both was she's considered "blighted."
With this, if the baby or babies didn't push-thru she has to undergo a "Raspa, " procedure.
But we were still hopeful that my wife would never go through this process...because that only means operation and an expenses in a very higher cost.
But her OB told us that the body had its own very natural way to let go undeveloped sac.
The night after our visit...she had spotting. At first, it was only similar to a regular menstruation but as days goes by...her spotting have changed into a blood cloth.
We have lost the baby or babies...but following some descriptions her OB told us, we are both relieved now that my wife doesn't have to go through a "raspa," procedure.
