Ingrid Romero – The importance of listening to your body


2011 Arnold Amateur Bikini winner, Ingrid Romero gave birth to twins on April 6, 2012. She stay fit during her entire pregnancy and tragically it was cut short. Ingrid’s twins were born prematurely and she shares the story in a recent blog post.

 

An excerpt from her blog she shares,

This has been the hardest thing I ever faced in my entire life… while in surgery I was in a cloud the only thing I remember is trying to look over the green sheet to see if my babies were ok. On April 6 at 12.28pm baby Gianni was born weighting 3.1 oz and measure 14.3 inches. Nicco was second only weighing 2.11 oz and measure 15.1 inches. They were so little….and they were both crying.. that sound was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Doctors updated me soon and they were both healthy.

She talks about the challenges she faced with her first doctor and the need to switch to another. Ingrid writes, “After my experience I want to help other twin moms to the importance of listening to your body and alway seek advice of a qualified professional that you trust.” She goes on to share, “I had the worst experience with my doctor that always made me think everything was ok even when I knew it wasn’t. Don’t be afraid of changing Doctors until you find the right one for you.”
