7 weeks pregnant and having triplets!!!

I just found out today at my first ultrasound.  I've had 4 losses, and I have 2 children (ten and four) from a previous marriage!  I did 50 mg of Clomid this cycle (took it with the two other kids too).  I had two mature follies a week before ovulation. I have lots of questions:

Baby C had a heartbeat of only 102, and was measuring about 5 days behind.  Did this happen to anyone else and was everything okay?  I have a rescan scheduled for next Tuesday. 

If baby C doesn't end up making it, does that put the other two in danger? 

I'm also just curious to hear how far you made it in the pregnancy if you had 3. 

I'm sure I'll be back with lots of questions, and leaning on you ladies for advice and support.

    Congrats! welcome to triplet world! Can't help you too much with what to expect when they are born but this is the best place for all your questions. I don't post much but just seeing what other people have to say has been very helpful! Congrats again and good luck with C.

    Congrats! Our Baby C was also a few days to a week behind, but caught up by 9 weeks. I made it to 31 weeks 2 days, though I did spend the last 6 weeks on hospital bedrest. The month of April on my blog is all about my pregnancy and the NICU time. Good luck!!!

    I'm sorry I can't help with baby C measuring behind. Our trip was born at 33weeks and 3 days. I will also suggest Dr. Lukes book twins, triplets and quads. Welcome and congrats.

    Congrats!  My understanding is that even if something were to happen to baby C the other two should be fine.  I hope everything goes well!

    I forgot: At seven weeks both of mine barely registered a heart beat and at 8w both were going strong.

    congrats!!! x3!

    Get Dr. Luke's book ASAP.... you'll need to know a lot of what is in there and fast.

    As others said- "they say" that if you have a disappearing multiple it does not effect the chances for the other babies to survive.   I hope all 3 of yours keep on growing!

    Just wanted to say congrats!  Last year my baby that I lost had a low heartbeat, but it was really low (70-85).  I hope that your scan next week turns out ok.  I'll be praying for good results.  Hope that you have a healthy and happy pregnancy.

    Just wanted to say congrats, I don't have experience with low heartrates. We made it to 32 1/2 weeks. I spent 13 1/2 weeks on bedrest, the last 6 1/2 in the hospital. The triplet moms (and all the other moms too) on here are especially helpful! Best of luck to you! :)

    Congrats!!  I don't really know about the measuring behind thing, but hopefully it will all work out!  I think that if Baby C didn't make it, it wouldn't bother the other two.

    Congrats! At 6w4d my baby A had a h/b of 168 and Baby B had no h/b and measured a week behind. My doctor was sure it was a vanishing twin, but a week later she had a heartbeat. She measured small the entire pregnancy due to a poor umbilical cord insertion, but she's is perfectly healthy and is still working on catching her sister in size.

    Lots of good vibes coming your way!

    Just wanted to say hi - I'm exactly 7 weeks and we saw 3 heartbeats at 6w2d!

    Welcome to the club, and I hope that our pregnancies are as uneventful as possible.

    My RE told me that if we lose one it won't affect the other 2.

    Congrats on your triplets!  I am sorry that I can't help with the heartbeat questions.  I did want to echo the previous posters and say go get Dr. Luke's book.  It is a great resource!

    It was my understanding that if baby C miscarried, that it would not cause any increased risk to the other two babies.  

    I carried my three to 36 weeks and 2 days.   

     

    Good luck to you!
