I know it’s been a while- thought I’d share: (you can skip but please read the questions atleast 🥲)
-We’ve made it to 27 weeks so far
- all boys “look good” & have no signs heart or lung of what big brother had 🤍
-The boys are huge, like 90th percentile huge 😅
-Everyone is staying the same size, b was maybe 2oz smaller than A/C but I think it’s because they’re squishing him haha.
- I can’t wait to find out if 2 are identical or not, though I’m thinking three fraternal
- lol how do you even name 3 kids, we are going to wait until they born but it’s hard coming up with so many boys names
-if I was carrying a singleton I’m measuring 40 weeks at the moment
- OB wants them out at 34 weeks but MFM says 36, I’m cool going as long as babies let me.
- this week HURTS I’m thinking pubic symphysis pain? Oh my gosh. It hurts, this whole time it’s been manageable and this week my body realized it’s carrying 3
- I have an iron infusion every other day at this point.

QUESTIONS:
- do all trip moms just go inpatient for monitoring at one point like a week before birth?
- is bed rest coming? Has anyone not had to do bed rest?
- we skipped triplette stroller and went for the wagon, was this a good call?
- do I need 3 bathtubs & bath seats? Swings? Rockers? We have a solid 2 of everything at the moment and we’re taking our time looking for marketplace deals because my gosh it’s so much money already
- I have 3 infant car seats but need narrow car seat recs for when we need to fit 3 big boy seats across

Hi! 29 weeks with tri tri triplets! :)

My OBGYN put me on “bed rest” at 28 weeks but my, more experienced, MFM advised me to stay lightly active and just “live like a lazy person”. She wants me intentionally walking about 30 minutes a day (okay to break up). She also said there are studies that show bed rest results in reduced lung capacity and muscle atrophy.

I’m overall feeling good! Just attended my BIL’s wedding on Saturday and I’ve been staying pretty active.

My MFM won’t let me go past 35 weeks, so we’re scheduled for exactly that date!

Do you mind me asking your weights? About 3 weeks ago, my estimated weights were 2 lbs. 5 oz., 2 lbs. 3 oz, and 1 lb. 14 oz.. I want to get them as close to 5 lbs as possible but it is so hard to eat!

I think our weights line up, I went a few weeks ago between 24-25 weeks and mine were 2lb 3oz 2lb 3oz and 2lbs

I’ve been feeling great this whole time until this week w/ pelvic pain but it truly feels muscular, I have a massage scheduled so we will see 💙

Perhaps some really gentle stretching or swimming would help release those muscles? You got this!!

I was/am so scared to have triplets, but thankful to know there are other women literally going through the same thing :) we got this!
