I couldnt pm you, but I wanted to know how are you doing with your pregnancies? I wish no further bumps in the road....

I´ve been so nauseous and tired, I dont remember feeling this way with the triplets.. I cant do anything Im so tired, I just want to lay down on the bed ALL day. .. I had a scare the other day because I threw up some blood, but the dr. says everything is ok and only took my prenatal vitamins away a couple of days...

I started working full time 2 weeks ago so Im beat at the end of the day! Nausea hasnt gone away, it is very bad at the end of the day, after 6-7 pm I cant function properly.

However, baby is growing great, Im 13 weeks along today, my cervix is ok, next appt is in 2 wks. My clothes dont fit, and pg clothes dont fit either, Im in the awkward stage in whcih Im looking chunky instead of pregnant.

How are you doing Jessica? Ive been thinking about you and how your cervix has been behaving and the dr´s decision about it... please let us know...

Cindy, how are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good, I am 22 weeks now and down to 2.3. I ended up switching peri's and I really like my new one. She is very thorough and cautious and I feel more taken care of than I did before. She said no to the cerclage as well and just wants me to decrease my activity as much as possible. I'm still searching for a sitter for some help but feeling great. This is SO much easier than carrying 3!!

I hope your nausea goes away soon, mine never seems to let up until around 15 weeks or so. You should start getting some energy back soon too, the second trimester has been so easy (physically not mentally!). I hope it is that way for you too.

Hey,
I'll be 23 weeks tomorrow and everything still looked good at my last appointment. I'm working, too, but trying to take it easy. This is that scary time last time around so I'm still nervous, but my dr is pretty confident that things will be fine. I just feel things that make me so nervous sometimes, like when my belly feels tight for a little while or like today she feels lower than before. Aside from scaring myself, I'm doing ok.
Your nausea should be coming to an end soon, hang in there.
And, Jessica, I hope you find someone to help you out with the kiddies for a while.
Hang in there because we're in for the long haul this time.

Today I am 23 weeks 6 days, the same time I gave birth to the triplets 3 1/2 years ago. But this time is very different. I am home, still upright, and even working. Things seem to be ok, but I'm not letting my guard down just yet.. maybe in another couple months.
How are the rest of you doing? Hope all is well.

Cindy,
I'm sure the day brought lots of mixed emotions for you, I hope things went okay. I am 23 weeks 3 days and think often about where I was at this time with the triplets. I'm glad things are still going well for you.
I actually got a good report from the peri yesterday. My cervix went up to 2.8. This was the first time it didn't go down so it was great to get some good news. I'm having a really tough time lately though. I'm not sure if it is the hormones or getting bigger and remembering my last pregnancy or what but I have just been missing Hadley so much lately. I just keep concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other each day because that's the best I can do right now. No one should ever have to feel the pain of losing a child.

Jessica, what great news that your cervix went up!!!! you cant imagine how happy that makes me!

Cindy, how difficult it is to go through this time, but I bet you will feel so much better once you get through it. just keep thinking what my dr tells me always, being pregnant with triplets is a whole different ball game, the risk in the pregnancy does not compare with a singleton.. we were measuring almost 40 weeks when we had our babies, which should give us the confidence that we will get to 40 wks.

I`ve been so emotional with this pregnancy, everything makes me cry... you can imagine how it is regarding my angels... I have so many mixed feelings too... when people tell me that they think that I´m pregnant with a boy and that I will have my girl and boy, I get sad because I already have a baby boy... when we think about names for both sexes, its so very hard because I had already picked the perfect names for all of my children and no other names compare to them... and the worst part... Im due on Sept 19th, the day my baby boy passed away... I really dislike saying my due date... its so unfair for my little baby that Im expecting... again, mixed feelings.

Monique,

I feel the same. I have been very emotional too and have a hard time enjoying anything about this pregnancy, as bad as that is to say. I am sorry your due date falls at such a difficult time, I can't imagine having to recite that date over and over. I seem to go through phases where I do worse and am much more emotional and then will have a week or two where things are better. I'm sure it all has something to do with hormones.
I just wish we could all enjoy this time the way we were meant to

Are you feeling any better?
