"'We probably didn't get everything,' the clinician's words rang in my ears. I lay on the hospital bed, growing increasingly anxious and horrified as I imagined what body parts might still be inside of me.
The technician stared intently at the screen as she rolled the probe over my abdomen. Why was she taking so long? She scanned for a few minutes, left to get her supervisor, and then returned to scan some more. I couldn't take it. 'Can you tell me what is going on?'
Not knowing about my recent abortion, the nurse replied, 'The baby is moving so quickly that we can't get a steady image.'
'Baby?' I gasped. 'What baby?'
She turned the screen toward me so that I could see. The screen revealed a deflated gestational sac to the right, and one intact sac to the left. I was still pregnant with a healthy, 5.3-centimeter fetus, swimming like mad, with a perfectly strong heartbeat. I had been carrying twins."
