Just trust your feelings.<br /><br />Thank you for all the beautiful comments on my blog. xoxoWhat IF?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296831848220411473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059035808866051483.post-53892332108194257672009-05-01T09:21:00.000-07:002009-05-01T09:21:00.000-07:00Good luck to you!

Women who had identicals and women who did not. Women who had one placenta with their identicals and women who had two placentas (lower risk). If you would like to talk about the reduction issue (or about triplets in general - I've been there done that), please feel free to email me. I only just saw your posts saying that you've got three a-brewin' in there and I know how shocking that can be. (I was first told I had twins and later found out I had triplets). <br /><br />Please don't hesitate to write if you need some venting space or advice or just a virtual shoulder: chezperky [at] gmail [dot] comMs. Perkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923832430040384294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059035808866051483.post-1963921197599972622009-04-29T17:43:00.000-07:002009-04-29T17:43:00.000-07:00Hold on to that hope! I wish I could promise you ...Hold on to that hope! I wish I could promise you that everything will be fine, but of course I can't. I will say that in my small town, a friend who graduated from high school with me has three incredibly healthy, fat, adorable triplets who she carried to 38 weeks. The only reason she delivered then was that she basically begged our doctor (we saw the same MFM doc) to take them out, she was so huge and uncomfortable. So I know first-hand that not all triplet stories end as mine did. Some do, indeed, have very happy endings. :) I truly hope that yours is among those stories. <br /><br />I understand completely how you feel about reduction. Even if someone told me that we would lose all three babies, I don't think we could have elected to reduce. Bizarre to say, I know, but once you have those lives growing within it's just next to impossible to end one (or more) of them. <br /><br />My heart--and hope!--are very much with you and your family. xxooBrennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177178792621340014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059035808866051483.post-55047702074982809932009-04-29T10:59:00.000-07:002009-04-29T10:59:00.000-07:00Everything is going to be fine!!!
