NicAnn Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ok so we are having triplets. I don't think I've said it out loud yet! Im in total shock. Happy shock i think, but shock. I had ZERO clue! Yesterday I went to see the midwife, because I was planning on a home birth. I was measuring much much bigger than last month and so she spent extra time on my exam. Three babies. DH wasn't even there. It's my third pregnancy and the midwife is a dear friend, so I went by myself. This is totally crazy. Are there other triplet moms here?? Please check in!

Um_2_4 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 :smilielol5: At 9 weeks when they saw 2 on the u/s they almost had to pick me up off the floor! 3 would have probably required smelling salts! Welcome to multiple motherhood! (PS Start lining up help now :tongue_smilie: ! Really I am serious, start assuming you will be on bedrest at 18-20 weeks, if you are not, great. If you are, you'll be prepared and can take a bit of rest. Freezer meals are the BEST! I super triple puffy <3 loved freezer meals! Oh and all plans go out the windows with multiples so just be prepared for the unplanned.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow--congrats! I've known two families with triplets but haven't kept in touch after we moved. They were opposite in their approach. One family was very laid back about getting things done. They had adopted two dc so when the triplets were born they actually had 5 dc all under age 4. They figured that as long as they had all their dc accounted for they were good. The other family was hoping for twins (in vitro) but ended up with triplets. They were more scheduled; it suited their personalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Follow up with an ultrasound scan just to make sure. Then contact the local mother of multiples club, they can put you in touch with other local parents of triplets for support, help, possible equipment borrowing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okra Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Congratulations! That is exciting news! I have a good friend who had triplets. They were all around 5 pounds each. So, she was miserable but happy. Her Dr. did a pre-emptive cervical cerclage because he felt that it helped with the many different issues triplet moms can have. It might not be your cup of tea, but you might look into it. Also, eats lots of protein with more babies growing, the more protein you will need, and don't forget water! Overall, congrats!

Paige Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Congratulations! Could they tell how many sacs and placentas you have? It can get hard to tell the farther along you are and will make a big difference. I wish you a happy, safe, and long pregnancy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SproutMamaK Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow, what a shock! I agree with the advice to follow up with an ultrasound just to confirm - when I was expecting twins we thought we might have heard 3 heartbeats, but it ended up being two, one of whom just moved to a new spot while she was checking for heartbeats, lol. If you're already hearing heartbeats via doppler, I also agree with the "start lining up help now!" advice - you'll being a bedrest for quite a while at the end, and possibly at the hospital for the final few weeks... In addition to all the other things you'll need to think about, lol, you may need to find someone to help take care of your DD during that time. I can't even imagine the total shock you must feel!

wapiti Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I would be careful about counting babies until you've had an ultrasound, which I would do ASAP. If it were me (having had premie twins), for triplets I'd see a specialist soon. I highly recommend Barbara Luke's book. Congratulations and best wishes for a peaceful and healthy pregnancy!!

I second the protein advice. I was sick to death of chicken by the time my twins were born, but I credit that to them being so healthy.

melmichigan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I was pregnant with triplets and have surviving twins. Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Drink lots and lots of fluids, and get lots of protein. I drank hospital grade ensure like drinks, can't remember the name. How soon until your first ultrasound? You'll get to be on a first name basis with the US tech very soon. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly1730 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Congratulations! My husband was actually speechless ( for the first time in the 25 years I had known him) when the tech discovered twins. Triplets would probably have put him in shock!;) It's all good though. Our twins are such a blessing to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
