And it's triplets.  I was fully prepared to hear twins but not triplets.  I'm terrified.  And to add to my terror, the identical twins are possibly MoMo twins.  I'm really nervous about getting the girls here safely and I'm sick over the fact that I could lose one or all of my daughters.  I really need to be able to talk this out...so please, any and all advice is welcome.  Thanks ladies.

Holy moly!  I was (and still am) freaked out about twins, so I can't even imagine what you must be feeling!  The first thing I recommend is grabbing a copy of Dr. Barbara Luke's "When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads" - it helped me SO much!  I think you'll find that your OB will not handle you as strictly as the book recommends, so I try to stick to the dietary recommendations, rest time, etc. of the book the best I can (though not perfect by any means).  Second, I recommend seeing if you have a local multiples group for support.  We have one here in Austin called Austin Moms of Multiples (AMOMs) and it has been a God-send.  All the support and experiences of women in the same situation, or with more experience has been invaluable!  Third, you'll want to make sure you get a perinatologist (also known as a maternal-fetal specialist) in addition to your OB - a doctor that has extra schooling and training in high risk pregnancies.  Other than that, just try to hang in there - you WILL adjust to the news eventually.  And it's definitely scary, but multiples are so much more common nowadays that doctors are more equipped than ever to handle them.

First, I want to congratulate you again!  I know exactly how you are feeling, we transferred two embryos and also got pregnant with triplets!  Unfortunately, we lost one of the triplets (one of the identical twins) at around 7-9 weeks.  I went on to have an uneventful twin pregnancy.  Good luck and I will be thinking of you! 

The best advice I can give is to get rest from very early on!

 I agree with the PP's.  Rest rest rest.  I was so exhausted with my twin pregnancy during the first trimester.  It's time to slow down and learn to delegate.  I really liked Dr. Barbara Luke's book.  I took all the eating advice to heart and ate as much as possible.  If I couldn't eat, I drank protein drinks.  You will be referred to a perinatoligist.  If you are in a metro area, you might be able to find one who will also act as your OB.  I did and was really glad since then all my visits, scans etc. were done in the same place.  You'll want to research which hospital in your area has the best NICU and choose a doc affiliated with them.  Get those pieces in place then try to relax and do your best to nurture yourself and your growing babes.  GL!  We'll be here cheering you on!
