Re: question
Welcome and congrats!
Of course you can post here, it is for those of us due in February. Age really isn't a factor.
thanks love!(:
Welcome! This board is very supportive. You may want to post on the Multiples board also since you are having triplets.
Edit - saw other post and edited question.
The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise
yes ma'am!(: im having triplets!! ahh joy x3 but also no sleep x3! hahah. due valentines day!(; that would be amazing if i could actually have them then! the love on that dayyy!<33 hahah.
Wow! Congrats on your pregnancy and your babies!! Age isn't a factor on posting on this board at all! Hope you can get a lot of good info here and make some internet friends! You don't hear of too many natural triplets!
Have you been reading the hayjamie posts? Those are major MUD. This one has decent grammar so I wouldn't worry about it. If she is MUD, she will show us her true colors. Until then, I don't think we should worry about it unless she proves otherwise. She is asking for support and being her age, she probably feels more confident bringing it up since the other young mother opened up.
Ease up and take a moment. If I am wrong, you can point at me later and say "I told you so"
... Okay.. By decent I mean better than hayjamie
There is a post a few down, I forget the title but it is something like "entertainment if you are bored" and it takes you to a link regarding a young mother posting all over boards like 2nd tri, 1st tri, names, shower, etc. and just spreading MUD all over the place. Honestly it has been entertaining me all evening. She started on the Dec 2012 board and I think they want her kicked off.
Your are not alone in wondering.
Op good luck to you if it's real. Healthy and happy 9 months!
Have you been getting prenatal care? I saw in a thread you asked about a pap. It's super important. Also I would recommend counseling and some type of support group. Bringing a child into the world is not easy, let alone 3, regardless of age. Make sure you are educated and have a solid support group to help you along the way.
Wow, you've never had a pap before?? I'd definitely talk to the OB right away. I'm surprised they didn't do that at your initial intake appointment, it's pretty standard to do right before the ultrasound.
Did you get to have the one on your belly?
Can't wait to see an US picture!!!!! Triplets are sooo cool, definitely a blessing x 3!
Eh I wouldnt be overly concerned that she hasnt had a pap. I didnt have my first until nearly 19 years, and that was only because i had irregular periods and figured id better check it. My doctor said at that time that unless there is a cause to be concerned there isnt any reason to do a pap until you are 18 or so.
But you are correct in that it was odd the OB didnt do a pap on her at the initial appointment.. I didnt have one only because I had one a few months back so no need to have another so soon.
callietravis... Good luck to you and Blessings and Prayers for you and your babies. It sounds like you are trying to make sure you do as much as you can for the little ones. Dont hesitate to ask questions on February Board. Thats what we are here for. Better to ask us and get some answers rather than just wonder if you are doing anything right!

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:26-27&33-34
Yep, I'm voting for MUD.
Mom to 4 wonderful children: T(8), B(6) ,M(3), and A(1)
You must have just crapped yourself when they initially told you triplets. I would have, even in my situation of being older and married and financially ready. Not sure if the dad is involved or supportive, but give him time if he isn't. He's probably young and scared too. My neices bf took a couple years before he stopped being an idiot and came back around to father their son, apoligize to her and they are now together. But some of them never grow up. So just take it as it comes.
You'll have ppl judge you and be unsupportive but that says more about them than about you. So your pregnancy is unplanned, okay, in today's society a large percentage of ppl have sex prior to being ready for the possible consequences...and then judge ppl that end up actually getting pregnant like they couldn't have been in there place just as easily.
Find support in ppl that will give it to you. Finish school, even online if you have to.(nowadays it's possible to do things on your own time with online classes...still hard though, I finished my bachelors with online classes). Get your GED, whatever. Sign up for state/federal aid that you qualify for and vow to do everything you can to be off of it, with a college degree and a good job at 25. Set big goals like that with small goals that will get you there.
I think you're very brave. So many young ladies take the "easy" (I know it's not really easy) road out and decide to not continue with the pregnancy and get on with their lives. You made an unselfish decision. Continuing your education will also be part of that decision as it's a means to provide for the little ones.
Btw, feel free to ask stupid questions. I was 22 with my first and ended up being a single mom before he was even born(hindsight...whew, dodged that bullet). I was scared and didn't know anything, totally not financially prepared. I get some of what you must be feeling.
