The latest Trips report!

My regular OB sent me to a specialist once we found out there were actually 3 babies and I love her!!!! I met her and the staff today and she is SO nice and very straight forward. I didn’t feel pressured by her to make decisions about the pregnancy that I were uncomfortable for me and I felt like her sole goal was to make sure that the babies and me were ok and had the best chance possible. All of the staff is really nice and you know how some doctors are so busy that they give you like 15 minutes and then boot you out? No such thing here.... I was there 4 hours!!!!

So - now onto the baby update!

The ones that are is the same sac share a placenta, so that makes the pregnancy a little more high risk because they share everything so if something happens to one – it happens to the other. The other one is just hanging out and not affected at all!

During the ultrasound as she was pressing on my belly to see them better – the one that is by him self pushed her away with his feet!!! Too cute! The two together were kicking each other!! They are already starting to box!! LOL

But – all in all – everything looks good! All of their heartbeats are above 150 which is normal and you could see their hands and feet! I wish they would have given me pictures of those – but they didn’t.

Sounds like I will be on bed rest around 18 – 20 weeks which means staying at home and being as “inactive” as possible, but I don’t have to stay in bed. She said that I would become the world’s best couch potato before this pregnancy is over! LOL She also said that somewhere between 22 and 24 weeks, I will be in the hospital. My goal is to keep the little ones in until at least 32 weeks but they won’t let me go longer than 35. So, keep praying that this pregnancy continues to go as uneventful as it has so far and that we can keep them in as long as possible!
