Question 1

i am 38 .i have triplets pregnancy for 7week.i'm worried this situation. is that possible that three babies carring for 36 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most will end up in labor earlier and deliver by urgent C-section, but some get lucky. I had one mom carry to 37 wks with triplets &amp; all did well. Just make sure you maintain good communication with your delivery team so they can work with you to get as far as possible.

Question 2

dr.toldme tocome 11 weeks for retardation of 3rd fetus bcoz  is weak aswell as notsafe to carry triplet pregnancy. does retardation affect otherfetus?

Accepted Answer

See your doc: This is a very specific question that can only be answered by your doctor in your very unique situation. Triplet pregnancies are certainly possible and can be done safely. It sounds like your doctor is concerned with one of the triplets so there is need to clarify your situation with the doctor who knows you best.

Question 3

had my ultrasound in 7 weeks 3 days . had triplet pregnancy . but one ofthe embryo is of size 0.49 , others are 1.17 , 1.11 . ?

Accepted Answer

What's question?: You obviously have a very complicated situation here. You have a risky triplet pregnancy in which already at this very early stage, one of the fetuses is so much smaller than the other two.There are several options here for the pregnancy, as you are still very early in the pregnancy, but these options need to be discussed thoroughly with a high risk OB doctor known as a maternal/fetal medicine doc.

Question 4

how do u know ur trimester after a ivf retrieval and 3 day transfer if u forgot when ur menstrual started in a mixed triplet pregnancy? i'm 13 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Trimester definition: You don't need to know your LMP if you know your date of conception (the day of transfer). You know you are 13 weeks. Trimesters are defined only by weeks gestation: 0-12 is first trimester, 12-24 weeks is second trimester, and 24-40 weeks is third trimester. So at 13 weeks you are early in your second trimester. Congratulations!

Question 5

ivf pregnancy week 6. triplets measure at week 4+ no yolk and heartbeat seen. is this normal? or blighted ovum?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: If they are measuring only 4 weeks it's possible they are normal, but this is unlikely given ivf. What are the sizes of the gestational sacs?

Question 6

why are triplet pregnancies considered much higher risk than twins?

Accepted Answer

Earlier, smaller: The risk of preterm birth is higher for several reasons; triplet birth is likely to be earlier than that of twins. In addition, there is greater risk of growth problems, deformations from crowding, malpresentation. For the mother of triplets, the risks from abdominal delivery are higher than those of women with twins delivered vaginally and possibly abdominally, depending on the size and position.

Question 7

why is it hard for women to lose weight after a triplet pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the triplets were from fertility treatments - then those treatments do cause some issues with weight loss- either way the hormonal changes and usually the lack of any routine with eating well and exercising makes losing especially difficult after having 1 child - then triple all that with 3!   good luck! ! !

Question 8

why is it so hard to breathe during triplet pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Massive comprssion!: Your triplets are usually all of the available space in their "room"(your uterus) and pushing up and compressing your diaphragm(breathing muscle) so that it is difficult to expand it downward into your abdomen when you are taking a breath.

Question 9

how do u calculate trimesters after a ivf retrieval and transfer if u forgot when ur menstrual started in a mixed triplet pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Was it a 3-day or 5-day transfer? When was the transfer?

Question 10

how do u calculate ur trimesters after a ivf retrieval and transfer if u don't remember when ur menstrual started in a mixed triplet pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

You can't but MD can: Without a last menstrual period (lmp) as a reference your md will use the date of embryo implantation, serial ultrasounds, and other parameters to assess the appropriate trimester.
