Expert Profile: Elayne Glantzberg

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.
