I had a scan today( 32 weeks with triplets) The twins are 4lb 7oz each and the singleton is 3lb 12oz. Great weights and we have been told they are all well. The reason I'm posting is the midwife was concerned today with the size of the smallest triplets stomach size. I was put on the monitor for an hour today and have to return 48 hours till next week. My c section has also been brought forward a week. Has anyone experienced this before?

Congratulations on your triplets. As far as I understand, if they think the stomach is small it can indicate they are not growing well, as they favour head growth over other parts. My son had IUGR (intra uterine growth restriction) and his stomach was further behind than his head if that makes sense. He was much smaller though, all your babies sound like they are good weights and sounds like you are getting good care. I expect they are just wanting to monitor the growth. I hope it all goes smoothly for you.
