A funny sidenote to the name LE diet that has nothing to do with this thread but I'm going to share it anyway, is when I first read it, I thought it was a French diet :giggle: In my head I pronounced it in French too haha 'le diet!' :cool: yes, you may all laugh at me!Quote:

Let me tell you this: I am not strong, we can not carry this grief, we are utterly gutted and it has destroyed a big part of my life and my family. I would never risk that happening again. So I am letting go of my dream of twins, because I do not wish that suffering onto my children. I know with a single pregnancy the baby can also die (I've been there after all) or get disabled or ill (been there as well!), but the risks are so much higher with twins. And nothing can prepare you for a doctor telling you 'I have bad news...'. You think you are able to carry the consequences now, but you will kick yourself if disaster strikes in your home, it's just not worth the heartache and trauma.
