Multiples

Triplet moms, please (Twin would be very different)

How far did you get?  I'm 24.4 today and expecting 30-32 weeks with these boys since I went 36.6 with my singleton DD.
Dr today was great and answered so many questions, but he said average was 33-34 wks, with a goal of 36-37.  Realistic?
TIA!

  • I'm 28 weeks prego right now with triplets, my cervix is measuring 3.5 cm and my test came back negative for preterm labor.....as of now they have estimated 36 weeks for me. I'm not having any contractions either so they have told me to keep drinking fluids and spend my days relaxing on the sofa.

  • Thanks for the reply! Do u have an older child? How much time do u spend on the couch each day?
  • 28 weeks. PTL at 24 weeks. Bedrest at home for a week before (so 23 weeks) until delivery at just over 28 weeks.
  • Did u have any PTL signs?
    They checked my cervix at 22.4 wks with ultrasound and it was down to 3.98. Only doing manual from now on and they said long and closed.

    Mine were born at 35+3 day I was scheduled.Mine were also goodish sizes 5lbs for 1 and other 2 4lbs each I went in to preterm labor at 27 weeks and was at 2 for the rest of the time. I did bedrest at home at that point. I also did the 17P shots as my DS was born at 34+6 so I carried my triplets longer then my singleton. I would plan for early but not to early our bodies do amazing things.

  • I had pPROM at 25+4. Made it to 27+2 when I went into labour and there was no stopping it. I had been on MBR since 13 weeks and everything looked great on my ultrasound the week prior to my water breaking. My trio is still in the NICU but doing well. My OB's goal for me was 34 weeks.
