Hi ladies ! Triplets, scared!
Hi ladies!
I’m a momma to three little boys! I have a 4 year old and my twins are 3 years old. My husband and I decided we wanted to try for a little girl! I tested positive and at 5w6 days went to those boutique ultrasound places, had a healthy heartbeat and confirmed one baby! I even asked are you sure it’s just one ??? She double checked, I was terrified of twins again! Then fast forward to 8 weeks I had my first OB appointment, that baby was now 8 weeks with a healthy heartbeat… BUT then… they found a smaller sac, with TWO more babies in it. Both with heart beats, identical twins but measuring 5 weeks 5 days I think it was. I was shocked, terrified, excited, nervous all at the same time but mainly confused. How was that possible? So my OB who delivered my previous children told me it was a rare case of superfectation I think he called it? When I was already pregnant and 3 weeks later ovulated again and got pregnant again.. but then told me, “I’m sorry but that’s a high risk pregnancy and we don’t handle those cases here in this center. You have to go see a high risk doctor” I then called my old OB told him about it, he’s taking the case. However he doesn’t believe it’s the rare case, he just think that embryo developed slower and took longer to split. But would think all 3 are from the same age. I see him tomorrow for an ultrasound to see if all three babies are still with a heartbeat and healthy. My question is, has this happened to any of you triplets mommas here ? How did it turn out? At first I’m not going to lie, it crossed my mind? What if only one survives ? Due to the fact that I already have 3, due to the fact of how dangerous and high risk things are, due to the nicu fears etc. but as the days went on, I fell in love with the idea and how I’m just hoping and praying all 3 are alive. But I’m terrified the identical didn’t make it. Please ladies share with me your experiences ?? Thank you so so much!
