Name: Elianna Aguilar
Where do you currently live? Glendale
How far along were you when you found out you were expecting twins? 8 weeks
Any issues during your pregnancy? Yes, Twin B wasn't gaining weight. I wasn't twin to twin because they were in separate sacs, and the doctors could never tell if there were one or two placentas. I was seeing my high risk pregnancy doctor twice a week since about 5 months pregnant. Once the twins were born, it was discovered Twin B had a cleft palate, congenital heart defect, brain defect and a genetic abnormality.
Memorable/funny moment when you were pregnant: The most memorable had to have been when the twins were moving and kicking in my tummy. I ended up waking up and eating cereal at 3 am.
Looking back, what is one thing you would tell your pregnant self? Everything is in God's hands.
