Just found out we're having TRIPLETS!! Agh!!

[Helena112]

Hi just thought I'd reach out incase anyone else is expecting triplets!

I'm only just 7 weeks, but had an early six week scan last week. The scan showed three individual sacs and three little heartbeats 😳

My sickness is awful, I'm really struggling to keep anything down!

We are overjoyed with the news of triplets, but are extremely worried as this is a high risk pregnancy !

Just wondered if anyone had any experience, advice, or in the maybe someone in the same position ! Xxx

That's awesome!

@parrotfashionista ah the first triplet mum I've come across !!! Would it be ok if I PM you ? Thank you so much for reaching out ! xx

Goodness me wow and congratulations. I only have two seperate single pregnancies so I don't have any advice. How exciting! Hope you feel better soon. The queasiness is horrible xx

Congratulations on the triplets.

I am just over 16 weeks pregnant with twins and I have a 5 1/2 month old daughter. I have really bad sickness this pregnancy, I have HG and I’m on medication for it but it’s not helping.

@Court1994 thank you hope you start feeling better soon! the hospital won't give me any medication for the sickness 🤢 not sure how I'd cope with a young child and feeling so sick! Your doing amazing xxx

@Helena112
I am struggling to look after my daughter, my fiancé has help me a lot but I’m still breastfeeding her so I’m the one who has get up in the middle of the night and feed her.

@Helena112 yes of course

Congratulations!! My neighbour had triplets and she also had a year old so she had four under two 😱 Take it easy and get plenty of support if you can 💕

How fabulous, massive congratulations.

Aww, how lovely. I teach triplets, they're in Year 9. Two non identical boys and a girl. They're great, and very much individuals.

Wow, congratulations!!

A couple my husband knows had triplets, they already had 2 under 3😱

I know 2 people that had triplets. Both have 2 girls and 1 boy.
Both gave birth around 32/33 weeks.
They were both told to take 1 week at a time.
They found it overwhelming-the pregnancy plus the first 2 years, they seek to have pretty much nailed it after that

Congratulations....although I did think your title read .....'Triplets, again!

@Helena112
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I thought my twins due in 4werks was alot to take in but Triplets.... Wow!
That's fab news!
Try enjoy your journey and keep us posted with any and all questions that crop up.

How are you doing OP?

Congratulations!

I've been following this instagram for a while and am in awe of these parents: triplets of copenhagen

Sending you best wishes!

ah congrats! like previous posters, i am having two and the initial shock was overwhelming. regardless of how loved and wanted your babies are i think it is totally normally to feel completely overwhelmed and i definitely grieved for a while for the pregnancy / life i had 'planned' - so i just wanted to say allow yourself to do that, i think it's totally normal to feel all kinds of crazy emotions at such huge news. at 23 weeks though the idea of twins is starting to feel a bit more 'normal' to me and i am definitely feeling more excited than i am terrified now - so hopefully the the same will be true for you!

i would obvs recommend you do lots of research on multiples - TAMBA / twins trust is a good resource and they have various antenatal webinars etc which are helpful. there's also a multiples forum here on MN though it's a bit less active than the pregnancy forum.

i was already a high risk pregnancy due to BMI, even moreso with it being multiple - but i am actually looking at this as a positive thing as it means i get more scans and touchpoints to know that everything is going ok in there which is so nice - i have a scan every 4 weeks and i expect with having triplets yours might even be every 2 weeks, so much reassurance!

huge congrats again mama

ah i've just seen this was an older thread! so hopefully you've already dealt with all that coming-to-terms stufff... my points still stand for anyone else who stumbles this way :)

Wow, congrats! Good luck with the pregnancy x

Thank you girls 💕 I'm now 26 weeks and the C Section has been planned for the 4th of May.

We've had a few bumps along the way, we have a 67% size difference between the biggest triplet and the smallest one, also an issue with backwards cord flow. We have been told to prepare for the worst wit our smallest triplet 😔 just so heartbreaking to get so far... but we are staying positive for the other 2 💕

We have weekly scans - all very scary with with this Coronavirus. No better time to be pregnant with high risk triplets than in the middle of a global pandemic !

Congrats! Amazing news. You will need lots of help in the first few weeks. A constant supply of nappies etc Enjoy!

I don't know how I missed this when you first posted but I just wanted to say congratulations

Re your update, I'll keep you and your babies in my thoughts, please do keep us updated! April is gonna draaaag now while I wait for 4th may!

Amazing! Congratulations 🥳 x

Wishing you a safe delivery @Helena112 and hope they all get through it ok.
Your situation really puts into perspective my own day to day 'struggles'
Sending to you and lots of love

Congratulations Helena. My god mother had natual triplets, I was very young at the time and couldn't understand why she kept asking me to pick things off the floor for her LOL
Sticky baby vibes in the way to you.~~~~~
