Thats a tough one. Do you have a pretty open relationship with your mom? I would assume since you are already 12 weeks pregnant with triplets that you are going to start to show sooner than later. If I were you I would just be honest with your mom and tell her whats going on before she figures it out. Good Luck!
well weve only got on the past 2 years so we are pretty ok. oh well ill just tell her over the phone then ill be a safe distance away lol

You should be showing very soon - It's not the same as a singleton pregnancy. Hopefully, since your mom had you at a young age, she'll understand and be supportive. Yes, she may be a bit upset or disappointed since you're young but it's not the end of the world and I'm sure........she'll be fine. Specially once she holds the 3 bundles of joy. Good Luck!

Rachel, I'm sorry to hear about you and your mom not being very close. Have you started looking around your area for support groups for moms with multiples?
Welcome to TS!!! and CONGRATULATIONS on the triplets!!!! WOW!! maybe your mom will be ok since she was very young when she had you too!!
hi, just wanted to wish u all the best! we r 17 year old identical twins so if u want to chat.. feel free to
:sign0016: Hi Rachel! Welcome to TS! And congrats on the triplets! How exciting! This is the best site ever for advice and information. 2 of my aunts were young grandmas, and at first they were in shock, and didn't take the news so well, but now you'd never know. They adore their grandchildren! Even some not so young grandmas don't take the shock so well. I know my brother had problems when they broke the news to his MIL (who was already a grandma), but now she couldn't love her granddaughter more! And even when I told my MIL that I was pregnant she took the initial shock as, well, shock. I'm not sure she really knew how to handle it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I hope it all goes well with your mom, but if it doesn't, give her time to get use to the idea. Good luck! :hug99:
Wow, triplets! That's amazing. I'm sure you're a bit overwhelmed. How did you find out it was triplets so early? Was there a reason to suspect or was it a routine ultrasound? I wish you the best. Come here often for support!
Congrats on your triplet pregnancy! I hope your mom takes the news well b/c it would be great if you had her support -- as for the dad, well, I'm sorry he doesn't want to be involved, but I agree with you that it is his loss! Good luck! jen
Congrats on your triplet pregnancy! I would tell your mom ASAP!! Its best to just come out and say it! She will be mad but then she will be happy! No Mom can resist a baby( or Babies)!! You will need all the support you can get from family and friends. And its totally the dads loss.. Gl and looking forward to seeing more about your pregnancy! We are here for you!
Wow! That's amazing -- congratulations. Did you get to see an ultrasound? What was that like? Sorry to hear about the dad; maybe he'll come around. In the meantime, we're glad you found us. Let us know how things go with your mom.
