how are the pregnant w/triplets ladies doing?

Just curious about bunney, ethansbride, k&b51905, and probably some more that I'm forgetting (sorry!!). Hope everyone is doing ok!

My 15w appt was good so we'll just truck along until the next one at 18w.

Hanging in there.  Spent half the day in L&D yesterday due to contractions but obviously things have calmed down since I'm home.  Going for my twice a week NST tomorrow.

Wow, three weeks is a long time to wait for your next appointment!

Had an appointment yesterday they looked great.  I feel like a failure thought b/c they had to give me meds for the nausea.  I took one tonight and it is not helping.  I want to cry.  I know this will pass but it is so hard to function and i know i need to eat to help the babies.  Please tell me this improve.

Glad your doing great!

Just had my second trip to L&D last week.  I was having pains and my OB sent me to get checked out.  Turns out I was having a lot of contractions when they hooked me up to the monitor.  Two weeks prior I was there also for contractions.  They ended up giving me two steriod shots and kept me one night. 

I've been on strict bedrest for 3 weeks.  I've been 1cm dialated for 3 weeks and my cervix shortened to 1.5.  He said it opened more internally, but didn't say by how much.  They put me on Procardia to slow/stop the contractions.  My fetal fibronectin test came back positive also.  My perinatologist said yesterday that he thinks we can hold them in for at least another month.   

We go for another cervical u/s and growth u/s on November 16th.  I'm just hoping and praying to get to at least past 30 weeks, that is my first goal.  Hoping to go as long as possible though.  I've been a nervous wreck.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!!! Let's hope those little ones can stay put for a while.

Thanks K&B!

ditto k&b - I hope those babies stay put for at least another month, ethansbride!! It sounds really scary but sounds like the doctors are doing everything they can.

I'm doing OK, I've been having contractions for about 3 weeks now - no trips to L & D, they haven't been too frequent, but some have been painful.  I also have a lot of pressure on my abdomen, acid reflux, sciatic pain, nausea, and I'm REALLY exhausted. So I feel like absolute garbage

I've been going to the doc every Tuesday now (this Tues will be the third in a row).  At the growth 2 weeks ago, all 3 babies fell off their growth curve, especially A, so they gave me steroids, and will do growth this Tuesday...I'm hoping for some improvement! I did pass the 1 hr glucose test, and the babies have had BPP test the past two weeks and all scored 8/8. I will probably be admitted to the hopital at some point, probably after one of my Tuesday appt's to be safe, since I live about 45 min away, we have no family in the area, and DH works an hour in the other direction away...the don't want any emergencies.

Hang in there ladies!

Hi ladies!  I am hanging in there, between the all day sickness and the constipation I have been a mess these last few days.  It seems like my morning sickness has gotten much worse over the past week.  I hope this gets better soon, the zofran is barely working these days.  I meet with the Peri for the first time tomorrow and hopefully will get a lot of questions answered.  I also had an u/s yesterday and they all look good.  I am still very stressed about whether or not to get the CVS done, hopefully my Peri will shed some more light on it for me since my OB is pushing the issue so hard.  One of the problems is we can't find anyone in MA to do the test on triplets and she wants me to go to NY and my insurance won't cover it out of state.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

oh bunney this does not sound pleasant! I really hope that they look good at the next scan, and that you can avoid the hospital as long as possible. grow babies grow!
