Sad! She was expecting only one baby, see what she gave birth to instead

Different strokes for different folks! Life deals with people in different ways. If you are familiar with this saying, you will have a unique understanding of life. 

So many times, people’s expectations are cut short, one feels sad for them because they wasted their time and energy anticipating the occurrence of a particular event. Some have so much hope that something will happen; while they stay in wait for this expectation to be met, they do not grab the opportunities staring them in the face.

We also have to accept the fact that some people’s lives have changed because they did not know they were going to get something big. They probably live their lives quietly and do not expect that something huge will change their standards forever and make them most sought after.

In the case of a pregnancy, most women know they are expecting a child and would have started making preparations for it. The euphoria of setting up a nursery in the house while buying clothes that will suit the weather and season in which the baby will be born takes their time.

It is possible for women to get surprised after their delivery when the sex of the baby is different from the initial sex that was predicted during antenatal. One cannot tag this a disappoint if a healthy baby is being born.

Also in situations whereby expecting mothers get surprised by giving birth to twins or triplets when they are expecting just a baby is awesome. It could be tagged a relatively good news if the supposed father do not abscond because of the expenses that comes with taking care of more than one baby at a time.

For people who think it is quite impossible for mothers not to know what they are expecting, Taslima Khatun Uno’s story will change that perspective. She is a mother of conjoined twin girls who did not know she was carrying twins because the doctors told her she was having a baby.

As much as she looked forward to the birth of her baby, she was not expecting this as she is now stuck with the thought of having them separated and if at all it will be possible since the babies were born joined at the head.

She named her daughters Rabia and Rukia; she has to deal with the anxiety that comes with the thought of seeing them separated and living normal lives even though she does not know when that will ever happen.

Uno delivered her babies through medical operation in a clinic in North Bangledesh about three months ago. She and her husband did not know that the twins were conjoined until after the birth.

All she heard was the doctor barking orders for the babies to be given medicine in order to save their lives. It was when she heard two distinct sounds coming from them that she started to worry about what the babies might have been.

She saw them the morning after the operation when she had recovered. The euphoria of giving birth washed off immediately as it was replaced with thoughts of how to feed them and hold them. She was concerned about how she will take care of the babies as at the time she had them.

The whole thing can be considered to be a nightmare giving the fact that she was expecting only one baby even though she got two that requires serious medical attention. The twins are being observed and monitored in order to know if a surgical separation can be done on them and how soon it can be done.
