Multiples

US #2= TRIPLETS!!!

Hi Ladies,

This is my official intro! You might remember last week I posted on here asking for advice, because my 1st US @6wks showed 3 gestational sacs, but only 1 had a heartbeat, the other two only had yolk sacs. Well today at my 2nd US @7wks all 3 gestational sacs had little beans with heartbeats!!!

DH and I are very excited, but also a little nervous and scared. We were hoping and praying for 1 baby, and knew that with injectibles there was always the chance of multiples, but never did we expect triplets.

For the triplet moms out there, what were your best resources to prepare you? Did you find a local MoM group? did you buy the triplet connection expectant parent manual? Any initial advice is very welcome.

Look forward to getting to know you all!

Re: US #2= TRIPLETS!!!

  • I do remember your post from last week and I have been wondering how things turned out for you.

    Congrats to you and your DH!!  That's a lot of bundles of joy you've got coming your way!!  :)

  • Congratulations!  Make sure to get Dr. Luke's book.  It will help with eating enough for your LOs.  Read Babywise, it is a sleeping technique that may save your sanity in the future.  I have twins so I can't comment on triplet specific books but there are lots of triplet mommies here and I am sure they will chime in.
    U/S#1 showed 2 heartbeats! U/S#2 showed Baby A's heartbeat was 157 and Baby B 's heartbeat was 183! U/S#4 showed Baby A is a Boy (heartbeat 161) and Baby B is a Girl (heartbeat 159)!! Lilypie Second Birthday tickers
  • Wow!  Congrats!  Dr. Luke's book is a good resource.  Hopefully some trip mommies can answer your questions.
  • I do remember your post and yay!!!!  It'll take awhile to soak in....

  • aw, congrats and welcome!

    my best resource was the Dr Luke book. I didn't get any info from TC or MOST, but I did use the forums on TC a lot. (I still post there every once in a while.) 

    triplets are awesome, and there are lots of us triplet moms on the board, so feel free to ask any questions you might have. :)

  • Congrats! I remember the shock of finding out there were three-it took a while to sink in but it was awesome! You've already got some great advice here about Dr Luke's book, etc. I would try and join your local MoM group. Mine has been very helpful-they even brought us meals the first week we had the kids home which was so nice. If you can meet another triplet Mom and maybe go to her house to see how she has things set up, system for making bottles, etc. I did that and it was very helpful and she gave me some great ideas and advice. Welcome to the board!

  • Wow!  Congrats!!!  We winged it.  I wasn't really on the internet when I was pregnant and my MFM told me to stay off of it.

    My initial advice is to listen to your body.  If you are hungry, then eat.  If you are tired, then rest.  And you will need a good triplet stroller - one that you can push with one hand.  We made a mistake with this.  Join a local MoM group - you may be able to find a 2nd hand stroller for a good $.   

  • Wow!! Triplets! Congratulations :) I'm sure it'll take a while for the news to sink in--even with "just" twins I sometimes stop and am in awe of what is happening and what WILL be happening when they arrive.

    Good luck!

  • Congrats! No advice....but get whatever things you need to do now. I'm 29 weeks today with 3 and it's becoming a bit impossible to bend over or do any sort of things around the house.

  • I know I'm a bit late with comments - but I agree about Dr. Luke's book, but don't feel bad if you don't put on the amount of weight she suggests - it seemed like ALOT.  I did join my local MoM group, but haven't gotten too much out of it yet - other than a few good deals with their recent sale.  There's only one other triplet mom and her boys are a bit older than mine.  I didn't join TC or anything else.  Congratulations and best of luck for a healthy uncomplicated pregnancy!

  • Welcome to the club!

    I read Dr Luke's book and every other multiples book I could find, but can't really recommend one more than the other.  Check some out from the library if you can.  I felt they dealt more with twins than triplets+.  I got the best advise from this message board and the wonderful NP at my doctor's office.
