Multiples
Intro:)
Hi ladies! I've been lurking over here for a couple weeks as the shock has sunk in. I'm 10w2d today with spontaneous triplets. We went in for a viability/hb check at 6w5d and saw 2 gestational sacs, but no heartbeats yet so we didn't didn't really know what to feel, then my doc called me the next business day to say all my lab work was good, she thinks I just ovulated late, and by the way, one of the sacs had 2 yolk sacs in it, so it's 3 instead of 2! OMG, my knees collapsed and I recall dropping a few f-bombs on the phone while it started sinking in. Since then I've had another appointment where we got to see 3 strong heartbeats and now my OB broke up with me and sent me to an MFM:(.
I used to post on the knot, the nest, and the bump when I was pg with DD but when I was on the 12-24 board a bunch of us split over to a private board. So now I'm back here and really appreciate all of the advice and experiences I've read. I'm basically terrified at this point, I think still in denial. I'm afraid of bedrest, NICU stays, and how I can keep DD's life as normal as possible. So that's me.:)

Welcome! I got the same news as you last Friday, although we knew that twins was a possibility and were planning for that. I've pretty much got the same fears that you do, but I'm sure we'll get through it just fine. Congrats!

Welcome.....
I was in the same boat end of April and all of May. But my boat was twins not triplets. I have been on an emotional roller coaster of complete and total fear, horrified to thinking this is neat not everyone has multiples, to freaking right out again. I am now 25 weeks according to my doctor as of today, and I am just coming around to the idea. We or should I say I wanted one more baby. My Grandpa passed away just over a year ago and watching all the work my mom and Unlce's went through all I could think about was how if we don't have another baby then our DS will have to deal with everything including emotions on his own. Not cool in my world. So it took time to convince my DH to have another. Low and behold second try and shazzam we are preggers. Then I started bleeding went to the doctor she sent me for an US the next morning and that was when I found out it was twins. I told the technician to F off and he was like no really look there is one and there is the other. So I had to convince my DH of the third baby that day. NOt so easy when it took 8 months to convince him of the second. Anywho, here we are 25 weeks into it and we are functioning just fine. It will get better. It is alot to wrap your head around. Your daughter will be fine. First make sure you and your DH are fine and then talk more about it with her. The more confident you guys are about it the more at ease she will be too. Think positive and start buying diapers now, I have been and it has taken away some of my financial concern. I feel better prepared this time around as I know more but.........multiples are a whole new avenue for us. Good luck keep you chin up and talk here as much as you want. The girls here are awesome and have gotten me through some wild and crazy thoughts. Even if you just creep from time to time some birth stories and funny things go on here and it will help you to adjust.
Good Luck and keep on smiling!
