Well the cantaloupe thing explains why I'm having trouble moving around. Imagine carrying 3 cantaloupes around with you all day. And they're going to get bigger??? Holy smokes! Good thing I'm going to my chiropractor today. Let's get this whole back thing straightened out (literally).
I'm in a weird place emotionally this week. I know I should be happy but all I'm doing is panicking. I can't sleep b/c I just worry that something bad will happen. I keep reading about people who go on bedrest or have contractions early or their cervices thin out early and I just need some good news and positivity. We go to MGH on Tuesday so I hope to get some of my fears allayed at that time. I might even ask to be hooked up to a contraction monitor to see if there's any activity.
I'm thinking it's b/c I've been home and had time to think about all this terrible stuff. I need to keep busy and entertained so I'm not surfing the net and reading all this info. I might even be swearing off reading other blogs for a while. Hopefully a week at the Cape will get me back on the right foot!

Hun, I did the same thing. Read MY blog, go back, wayyyy back. Here is some good, encouraging news- you already had a baby. That means your uterus is nice and broke in which gives you a better chance of carrying the babies longer. If you did not have problems with him, you have an even better chance of carrying these babies longer. Not everyone has problems with triplets, I had more problems with my singleton (I had pre-eclampsia) than I did with the triplets. I carried to 36 weeks and had a scheduled c-section. At 34 weeks my cervix was STILL long and I was only dilated a little bit (I dont remember exactly how much, I am thinking it was only like 2cm.) The worst part was all the aches and pains.
That is not all to say that I did not basically put myself on bedrest because I was very conscious and scared just like you are and after about 24 weeks, I did not do much of anything. I stayed on the couch with my feet up or in bed most of the day. I made my husband go grocery shopping, I did do small things around the house like dishes, but I sat in my computer chair and wheeled myself around the kitchen. Anything I did I was always sitting down. So take it easy and try not to scare the hell out of yourself. If you ever need to talk get ahold of me on FB.
