Triplet U/S Today

So, had another ultrasound today. The babies are doing good ... 2 were measuring 7w1d and one (who was originally the straggler) is measuring 7w3d ... all heartbeats sounded good.

Holy crap! How am I going to handle a triplet pregnancy!!! My twins are driving me up the wall! And my DH is such a saint, he's basically running the whole house while I hang out in the bathroom and vomit!

All I know is, my sister better buy me a house or something when this whole thing is over ... or better yet, maybe I should see about a tummy tuck! I can't even imagine what my belly is going to look like after this pregnancy!!

 

Best Wishes for a Safe & Heathly Pregnancy to you
Congrats to your family as well.

Take Care,
Nadana

 

So you probably don't want to hear that MS is good and means the pregnancy has really stuck? :hug: You are a hero, to your sister and her husband and her children. Heroes usually have to suffer a bit, but you can do it! You're one tough cookie! :good:

 

YAY Glad to hear things are going so well! I can't believe its triplets!!!

Good Luck and I'd push for the tummy tuck!

Erica

 

The tummy tuck sounds like a grand idea! Sorry you're suffering so much right now, though!!!

 

Glad things are going so well

:laughing: I'd go for the tummy tuck myself!!

 

That's great Erica. Glad things are going so well, minus the whole being sick thing.

 

You are doing such an amazing thing!! I'm glad to hear the babies are doing so well!!!
I would definately take the tummy tuck too!

 

Glad it is going so well. Hey, you already have the house, right? I would go for the tummy tuck! Hope your m/s improves!

 

that's so awesome what you're doing! wow, triplets!!! hope you have a very uneventful pregnancy, and yeah, i'd go for the tummy tuck lol

 

How exciting Erica!! I hope the MS improves soon!

 

Glad to hear the u/s went well! Do you have a pic?

Screw the house, go for the tummy tuck FOR SURE!!! LOL!!! I hope your ms gets better soon

 

You are amazing!!! :bow2: I think this is a beautiful selfless thing and I am amazed at what you are doing! :bow2:

 

What an amazing, wonderful, selfless gift you are giving your sister. I wish you the best!

 

I am so happy for you and your sister!!

Me too . I'm glad all is going well!

 

That's great news! Personally, as already mentioned by several posters...tummy tuck!

 

Oh Erica! I am sorry that you are so sick! Are you sicker with these than with the twins?

and I would say the tummy tuck over the house too!!

I would say about equal sickness with the twins ... but my sister is an angel, and called up our nurse and BEGGED for some Zofran for me ...

I noticed when I'm home relaxing (last week on vacation, or on the weekends) it's not as bad. But yesterday when I was up and moving around and getting ready for work, I felt worse. I got to work yesterday and immediately walked into the bathroom to dry heave for like 10 minutes. ugh.

But after that I was pretty much ok for the rest of the day. I forgot how much the MS sucked!!

 

Yeah and yeah for your sister scoring you some zofran

Do you eat something before you get out of bed in the morning? I kept something to eat on my nightside table and before I even lifted my head, ate a little and drank some water. If I could keep from having to eat and keep my stomach full it helped the nausea. But I have to admit, my nausea was not that bad. :hug:

 

I would get the tummy tuck too!!! I am just so amazed by this! I hope all goes will for you Erica!

 

Wow, the straggler caught up! Crazy!! I hope your m/s eases up soon.
(I would go for the tummy tuck too! )

 

Oh wow, I must be out of it. I know your story, but didn't know it was triplets! Congrats on a good US, and feel better soon!

 

I started taking Diclectin for severe NVP (nausea and vomiting of pregnancy) last night and I already feel like a new woman - you might consider it.

 

You are a super hero! :bow2: I missed the post about triplets! Congratulations, I would definatly be asking for a tummy tuck!

 

he he you are funny. Glad everything is going well and that you have a very supportive dh

 

Great news about the U/s sorry about the morning sickness, not fun. It must be so excting and scary at the same time carrying triplets wow!

 

Oooo totally go for the tummy tuck! LOL Actually my doc is doing a sort of "mini tuck" at my section (we have already planned this) heck if I have to have another Csection I might as well get something out of it. He is only going to remove an inch or so of skin, enough to remove my old apendectomy scar and tighten my muscles a little.... a real tummy tuck of course should be done like a year postpardum... maybe I will look into that too!

Oh yeah.. duh... CONGRATS... glad to hear those heartbeats are strong. Sorry you are so ill.

 

I was just about to post that you should get some medication for the MS but sounds like you have. MS is different for everyone but here is what worked for me....

sips of Coke
vanilla foods like rice pudding
lemon oil (hard to find but worth it !! ) you just sniff it when you feel nauseated and easy to put in your purse
suck on lemons or smell them (if you don't have the oil yet)
peppermint tea, or gum
regular tea sometimes
watered down Gatorade better than juice in the AM and pretty if you have to puke it.
watch out for too sugary stuff, hot showers or heat can make you sick, empty stomach (hard balance)
toddler food like canned spagetti or ravioli or take out is good.


hope these help

Heather

 

I just saw your triplet ticker in another topic so I looked you up to bring myself up to speed and can I just say what a great sister you are! Congratulations! What a wonderful gift to be giving her! Good luck and I hope your m/s is improving!

 

I'm glad to hear the babies are all doing well. I can't imagine how you are feeling with the toddler twins combined with morning sickness. My boy is about the same age as your two and driving me nuts and there's only one of him. It was a good day today in that the worst thing he did was soak the couch, chair, and himself with apple juice. If there were two of him I might curl up in a corner. I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad your sister is taking the initiative to take care of you. :hug:

I agree! You are giving your sister a great gift! How are you feeling now?

 

I just saw that a few more of you responded! I'm doing ok ... I had a horrible sinus infection that lasted over 2 weeks ... and the DAY after I stopped by antibiotics, I got hit with another cold ... so I'm sick again. And I'm not happy about it ... the morning sickness is still with me. Not horrible, as long as I take my Zofran ... but I'm looking forward to it being over. With the twins I had m/s till about 16 weeks ... so I'm not sure if it will be longer with triplets ... I guess we shall see.

My sister is doing ok ... she just had her 3rd round of chemo ... one more to go, then she starts radiation. We are all just hanging in there at this point, and looking forward to getting past all this crap, so that we can both start enjoying the process. Unfortunately, neither of us are enjoying anything right about now!

Luckily we have two of the greatest DH's in the world ... so they are taking care of both of us. And my amazing DH is picking up ALL the slack at home ... he's keeping the house in order, doing everything as far s the kids are concerned. I mean, when this is over, he deserves an award of some sort! In some ways I feel like he is the most affected by this process! But he's smiling, and hes a trooper!
