I just wanted to say congrats!!! Multiples are awesome!
I agree!
If you haven't already, I suggest you visit the multiples board often (very kind and helpful board), read the book When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads by Dr. Barbara Luke, and ask your regular doctor/OB/GYN to recommend an MFM (doctor of maternal fetal medicine, also called a perinatologist).
Congratulations!! Come join us on the muliples board - everyone is wonderful and so helpful!

Good luck!
Ditto this! I'm "just" having twins but I'm fairly familiar with how my MFM treats triplet pregnancies. You definitely want to be seen by a MFM (or peri). Your OB should be able to recommend one. I'm pretty sure the high level NICUs in our area are St. John (main), Royal Oak Beaumont and UofM's hospital. (Children's Hospital is too but they don't do deliveries.) For sure deliver at a hospital with a Level 3 NICU (or higher if there is such a thing).
