I know there is another thread for triplets and also a thread for selective reduction...I didn't know where to post this. I am very new to this board and it was just referred to me by someone one another board. I guess I am just looking for some perspective from others...
I just found out I am pregnant with triplets. We did an IUI with 2 mature follies and somehow that one that apparently was 'lagging way behind' obvioulsy managed to catch up. I have an 11 month old at home who isn't even walking yet. Also I have chronic hypertension which is definitely not managed well despite being on several medications...actually it was pretty well-managed during my last pregnancy but has continually spiked and been dangerously high since. My RE is not at all happy with me having triplets and has referred us to a perinatal dr who we see tomorrow for a consult....
The topic of SR has already come up with the RE, although she admits that 'most women carrying triplets proceed with the pregnancy, however your high blood pressure complicates things...\" I don't even know what she was getting at, although she admitted this is not her area of expertise....
I am really very scared. I am scared about my BP, about being on bedrest and not being able to be there or take care of my daughter, about having to consider SR, about taking care of 4 kids all under 2 yrs of age....I am pretty much scared about it all....
I know all these feelings are normal, but I don't know what to do with them. Any advice or tips.
