As I was lying in the ER a few hours after check-in and well after fainting a sense of foreboding washed over me. In that moment, my gut told me that I was going to die and it was time to pray.

All I can remember from after the procedure is an intense thirst and begging to see my husband and kids."I have the twins. They're only two weeks old," I said over and over.

I cried with my mom when the obstetrician explained how much worse the bleeding got in the operating room. My uterus wouldn't contract and she couldn't stop the bleeding. She called in a massive blood transfusion protocol and told me she was seconds away from performing a hysterectomy. If that didn't work, she would have been out of options to save me.

Now my babies are 10 months old. I got support. We are all healthy. They're wild and full of wonder. As exhausting and mentally draining as the days can feel, I still can't believe they're mine. That we're all here together.
