Expertise

I can answer questions on PCOS, Clomid, spontaneous reduction, preterm labor, severe prematurity, micropreemies, NICU, how to raise triplets without outside help, life with triplets and more, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, Asperger's/autism, and breastfeeding.

Experience in the area

I have bgg triplets born in 1999 and three more boys born in 2002, 2006, and 2008, the last two by VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesareans). My triplets were born at 26 weeks. My singletons were all full-term and fully breastfed. We have raised our triplets with no help and with a blind father. One of our triplets is also disabled with mild CP and mild autism, two have some vision problems, and one has had lung issues since birth.

What do you like about this subject?

Having triplets is an exciting family dynamic, offering a chance to see our children interact in ways parents of only singletons don't get to see.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I still hope to come to peace with many of the circumstances surrounding the birth of our triplets, as well as their first years.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Having triplets is the most amazing experience in my life, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Each baby right now has the same chance of survival as a singleton. They are not big enough or crowded enough to be competing for resources yet. They probably aren't even "aware" of each other yet chemically

2011-11-19 twin pregnancy-preeclampsia:

It is harder to do bedrest at home with a child than most people realize, even with help. If you want to push for home bedrest, you should volunteer to get a blood pressure machine at home and check it

If you have only had a single period since your miscarriage, it's very normal for your cycles to be irregular as your body recovers from the pregnancy. The discharge could be spotting related to ovulation

Try giving her only soft foods for a while until she's ready to try something firmer. Make her smoothies; you can get a pretty good nutritional base out of smoothies, especially if you add nut butters
