#858, "What do I need to know...."


          

Hi I am 16 weeks and 5 days. I am pregnant with triplets. This was a spontaneous pregnancy. We have a 1 year old son. My husband and I are excited but so scared and nervous. We don't even know where to begin with planning. Do We put all the babies in one crib? How long will they sleep together? How long could we keep then in the same room /seperate crib? How do we feed all three of them? Is breastfeeding an option? What are the basic things we will need for them in the first few months? And where in the world can we find a stroller that won't cost an arm and leg, that will fit our triplets AND our 1 year old, and is somewhat nice looking??? What kind of help do we need and for how long?

I am sure I will have more. I feel so overwhelmed. Thank you for your advice.

Jamie

WOW, congrats!!!! Your story sounds just like mine. Take a deep breath and hold on, your in for the best ride of your life!! Lets see, where to start. You'll need everything!!! But let me highly recomend bottle proppers and boppys, even if your breast feeding!!! Our quad stroller is a "Foundations Quad" we found it on the Burlington Coat Factoy web sight, we love it, and our now 2 year old son rides in it with his 3 month old siblings. We had all 3 in the same crib, guess they can stay there untill they start waking each other up. Our share and will continue to share a room untill they are old enough to move out.

We loaded up on diapers and wipes, pacifiers sleepers and blankets, thats what we have used the most in the past 3 months. We did have a few preemie outfits, but mostly just survived in newborn and 0-3 month clothing, which were still in. We threw the thought of cute little outfits out the window, to much changing. If you use bottles, make sure you have enough to last you a 24 hour period, with acouple extra!! If will save od time to do the bottle cleaning once a day, and preparing them once for the next day, all at the same time.
All the ladies ont his sight are so nice, they can help with just about anything. Look onhere for used strollers and car seats, it will save you money, and time!!
My best advise is just sit back and enjoy the ride!! Get lots of rest, eats TONS of healthy food, drink water and listen to your Dr's. When the babys come home, do whatever it takes to get thought the day, do whatever you think you need to do, these are your babies and you will know what is best!!!
just so you know, most people post on the main forum. Good luck to you and your family!!! Lu
