Extreme exhaustion ...33.5 weeks with triplets

WhiteysWifey

Any insight?
I feel like I can barely lift my arms. I'm still home, I've put myself on couch rest (as much as one can with a 2 year old). We should be finding out a csection date today....probably after the first.

Hang in there!  Your body is working so hard right now and I'm sure you're not sleeping well either.  You are almost there.

I'd given up by that point, so I have no advice, but hang in there! Just take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. You can do it! (And man, try to get it on the 31st. Those three tax deductions are NICE. Just sayin'...)

Girl, you are amazing. At 33 weeks with only twins I was on bedrest and could barely get up to go take a shower.

Sounds about right - I could barely get up to wash a dish or go to the bathroom at that point.  My MFM scheduled my c-section for 38 weeks and I thought they were nuts!!!!!!  

You've made it so far and you're so close.  I know it's really, really tough -hang in there and cook 'em as long as you can.

Wow! Hang in there, I didn't make it that far, but I remember how hard it was at the very end. No advice, just support - you're doing an awesome job mama!!!

((((hugs))))

Everyone must be so proud of you! It is hard work cooking three babies!! Keep your chin up, you can do it!

ditto everyone else! I was on strict bedrest from 26 weeks on and I was still exhausted just from taking a shower. I can't believe you're able to take care of a 2 year old while carrying trips!

I can only imagine, but you're doing good!!

I'm already tired all the time @ 24 weeks with twins!!! I can imagine your body is pretty exhausted! When do they schedule c-sections with triplets??

LilCarciofo

keep up the good work!!! you're definitely in the home stretch!!!

You could always try to schedule for late in the day on the 31st and see about having one or two in 2011 and the other in 2012 Just saying...

In all reality, though, hugs!! I was MISERABLE at 33 weeks. When my water broke I literally started clapping my hands and laughing maniacally. But every day up until then, I would wake up wanting to have the babies, and by 4/5pm I'd convince myself that a middle of the night c-section wouldn't be as much fun, and there wouldn't be as much hospital staffing, so I'd sit down and relax until the next morning when the cycle would start again. Good luck - you're almost there!!!

I'm right behind you- no advice but cheering you on! They scheduled my csection for 35 weeks and 6 days- I don't know how I'm going to make it another month. You're doing great!
