Once again Jeff and Janet protect the newbie that comes and upsets the community as a whole but the long term members that dare speak out for the group who are obviously upset get banned. Yes, some members are more vocal and sometimes more harsh. But emotions come out. Jeff and Janet always seem to protect the newbie and not consider who has been on TC for YEARS helping and supporting many. Does the one who comes in offending and posting strange things from the jump deserve the protection? Honestly Jeff/Janet whoever is doing the banning this time you really should use your search feature and read Roe's posts from the start. She is ALL about the drama. Oh wait that won't work. You pulled most of the evidence. duh, silly me.

Thu May-27-10 12:14 AM by nermeen
She didn't have to go through a painful pregnancy worrying about the many issues women here had to worry about... she never had to take any magnesium shots- she never had to be on bed rest at the hospital... being poked and prodded all day long by nurses and doctors- she didn't have to hate her life being confined to that bed with bathroom privileges... she didn't have to sleep alone at night - she didn't have to miss falling asleep in her hubby's arms... didn't have to miss him even... she did not have to obsessively talk about the safety arrival of her babies every single minute of the day- she didn't have to get all crazy with posts, searching online for endless endless hours about other mothers who've delivered micropreemies, just to acquaint herself if just in case something happens, didn't have to obsessively see pictures of other babies the same size of those that were currently in her belly- even accidentally seeing aborted babies... but at least they looked human, sad but human... she didn't have to be paranoid about whether every kick or move would bring about labor... didn't have to obsessively check for blood every time she felt moist, dull or achey down there(ofcourse she didn't need to run to the bathroom, there was a box of tissues conveniently located right beside her bed and a trash basket...)
she didn't have to put up with disgusting hospital food... didn't have to force feed herself to the point of throwing up sometimes, because sometimes you think you feel if you just eat more, they'll stay in...
She didn't have to feel like she failed when the doctors told her, hey we're having a birthday today you're 3 cm dilated at 29 weeks... she didn't have to hysterically cry throughout the whole procedure... .....................................................................
she didn't have to force herself to get up after her c-section by 2 hours to go see her babies for the first time... didnt think they were so small... that belly was huge huh... she didn't have to break down when she saw small skinny boney little tiny hands, feet, head and body in the isolette... covered with the purple mask- under bili lights... she didn't have to not touch them just yet... heart being broken over and over again... with the confusion, frustration, disappointment, resentment, sadness and hopelessness- she did not have to feel that at all... she didn't have to think of " its when i carried the laundry from the bedroom to the living room that did it, i didn't take my prenatals everyday, i was supposed to do 3 portions of protein, i didn't do it everyday...etc"
She didn't have to cry every time she ate anything after the delivery of her babies, because she really ate for their sake, no other reason...
she didn't have to basically live in the NICU...
she didn't have to see each of her babies poked for glucose tests every other day, didn't have to see her tiny tiny baby hooked up to 10,000 wires... she didn't have to hear anything about a PDA, Blood infiltrate, Blood transfusion, Hypospadius, Right Inguinal Hernia, Necrotizing enterocolitis, Anemia, fluid restriction, Lasix, NPO for 12 hr blocks, Water Retention, spells, C-PAP, Follow O2 saturation levels...etc...etc...etc....etc
she didn't have to run to the monitor that was blinking red to wake her baby up, didn't have to avoid coming near/touching/or even looking at one of her babies isolettes, because they were so sensitive their monitors would go off...
She didn't have to make a sign and hang it on each of her child's isolette requesting to PLEASE call me when you are changing the tubes so I can see my baby's face- even though we were there 24/7... didnt get obsessed with weights and food intake every minute of the day... god... i can just go on and on...
my fried lost her triplets at 17 weeks 0 days... it's been over a year and she is still devastated... as hundreds of other triplet moms that have lost their children, just because, not for any reason, but that of luck. Thank god my friend didn't read her post...
we should not expect her to know how it feels... we expected her to sympathize... but she didn't.
You just don't know unless you've been there and done that.
Thankfully she didn't have to... and kudos to her she can go through this life stepping on people's emotions and being able to sleep at night knowing there are less fortunate people and children out there... it shouldn't make us angry, but it should make us sad for her... because everyday we wake up to our babies faces and thank god and are grateful and know god it could have been worse, but because he's merciful he's given us strength to endure it, gave us hope, gave us power and even implanted more love into our hearts for our children... because you really do love something you could have lost forever even more.
Those kids did not come easy and no they are not still here because of something right we did- how dare anyone?
Roe, good luck to you and your children.

What was it that Lea said so eloquently the other week, about God being wise and giving us what He knows we can handle? I firmly believe that.

I do agree that sometimes people go too far. I thought some went to far with Roe when she posted about keeping her appearance and house up after the babies came. But she kept responding, so it obviously didn't upset her too much.
But when she comes and posts, a day before her 37-week c-section, and implies that she is a good mother because she made it to 37 weeks, and that all you have to do is listen to your doctors and pray to god, that is a slap in the face. Was I offended? Not personally, because I know that I am the best mom I can be, and there is not one single thing I could have done during my pregnancy to change the outcome.
But, she did not consider her audience, so she deserved the harsh responses she received after that post. It is the same as the idiotic people who say "those things happen to OTHER people", never realizing we are all "other people" to somebody else. It would be the same if I came on this site and said that my husband and I obviously love each more than the many other husbands/wives on this site because we were actually able to conceive triplets spontaneously; all you need is a lot of love, right? It is one thing to be happy that you made it to 36 weeks - it is another to claim that you are a better mother because of it.
Every day when I am out with my girls, I look at my stupid double stroller and I want to cry. I hate that we can fit through most doors, I hate that we are not falling off the sidewalk as we walk down the street. I hate that there is an empty third seat in the middle row of the car that is too big for us now. I hate how I subconsciously re-position us when we are playing to make sure there isn't an empty spot where Caitlin should be. I hate that when we moved last month, "Did you get Caitlin" meant "did you remember to take her urn?". I hate that I have the memory of my husband sobbing as he held her in the recovery room burned into my brain.
If you want to ban those who "attacked" her after that post, well fine. But she needed to understand that she isn't a better mother, and that she did things no differently than anybody else. She was lucky. There's a reason average gestation for triplets is 32 weeks, and it's not because there's a buttload of bad moms out there. And after saying "whatever, I don't care" to Laraine's post regarding the loss of her Alexandra, she doesn't deserve your protection. She's obviously wearing her big girl panties and can take care of herself.

Amy - I love what you wrote and I can relate to it in a different way because everytime I see my 3 together, I think about how Olivia has fought her way through her very short life. After two open hear surgeries and numerous hospitalizations, I am never too comfortable and always keenly aware that my three can become two in the blink of an eye. My heart aches for all mothers who will never have a chance to get to know their babies, and to watch them grow up. But it especially aches for my fellow moms/dads of multiples, who have daily reminders that a part of their family is forever absent. This board is as much a support group for parents of preemies as it is multiples. And that's why so many of us get offended. We did all we could and our journeys have been challenging. Those challenges made me a better person and a better mother.

That made me cry too.
I was very lucky to carry my boys to 35 weeks. It was not because I did anything special or different than my friend who carried her boys to 29 weeks. And even at 35 weeks, I still questioned if God was punishing me for something. For someone to insinuate that she is a better mother because she went to 37 weeks is ridiculous. It's just dumb luck for her.
As for keeping up with her apperance and her house, good luck with that. I used to have a clean house and wore clean clothes everyday. I carried my planner with me every where before kids. My favorite ultrasound tech looked at it one day and said I should just get over it now because I won't have time to worry about all of that. And she was right. But I wouldn't trade the bags under my eyes, bone tired body, messy house, forgotten appointments for anything in the world. And when my kids are grown, they aren't going to remember any of that either. They are going to remember the mom that got down in the dirt and played with them because she didn't care about her clothes. They are going to remember the mom that read one more story at night instead of one more load of laundry. They are going to remember the mom that had impromptu picnics on paper plates because the dish washer wasn't run. They are going to remember mom bending over to give an extra hug instead of bending over to clean the toilet. They are going to remember that their toys were meant to be played with instead of sitting on a shelf in their perfect spot.
Does it bother me that I'm not who I used to be, sure. But the person I am now is a whole lot more fun and appreciates the three gifts I've been given.

I understand this post completely and I understand why people are upset but why keep bringing it up? This is kind of what I brought up in the last post. People are going to say things that you don't like,why are you letting her bother you so much? Will you ever meet the mentioned person, probably not.
Was I offended by the original post, yes and no. I had my kids at 24 weeks and luckily they are all healhty and with me today. Did I do something right or wrong? No, but others may feel like I did but I don't let it bother me. I am happy with what I do (and) did as a mother. So let them have a perfect house (mine is almost since it is for sale). Let them have great hair (mine is doen everyday and not in a pony tail). Let them have their nails done, beds made, floors clean, clothes clean (mine are clean and stain free).
You all know that she is not going to fully apologize. Don't respond to the posts but let others help if they want to.

So true and so sad-your post made me cry and made me angry (at her, again!)
I was one of those who had a horrible pregnancy- PTL and hospitalization starting at 16 weeks; being told all three likely had Down Syndrome following the nuchal test then a horrific CVS after which we were told that my daughter would die in utero as she had mosaic Trisomy 10; at 24 weeks being told my son had enlarged ventricles and would be brain damaged; more than a month in the hospital on all the PTL drugs; being away from my one year old and my husband in a hospital an hour away. Then having to deliver because 3 NICU beds opened up when I was 34 weeks along and the doctors were afraid if I went into labor in the blizzard raging outside they couldn't get the babies to another NICU. Sitting in the NICU wondering what would happen to my little guy, if I would be able bring him home... ..and I did everything I could apparently except will myself enough to have healthy 37 weekers.
I could not have survived my pregnancy and the first couple years if not for the support of TC members who kept me going- gave me great advice, a laugh or a shoulder if I needed it.
I am angry that some of those women who helped me when I needed it have been banned or reprimanded because some sanctimonious idiot came on here looking for a fight and offended so many with her callous words- why isn't she banned. Her posts have done nothing to encourage other triplet moms and dads- she needs to go, not Michele.
I wrote Janet after the last time we had an instigator come on here and inflame our group- I was disgusted that those of us who were offended got silenced, not the woman who wrote hurtful and insulting posts- she was given the benefit of the doubt, not the dues paying backbones of this site.
Enough is enough- the Roes have to GO!

Very well said. I was a "big person" and told her congrats and sorry that they had to have time in the NICU and she said "No need to be sorry about the NICU." Now... I had 36 weekers, my smallest was 3oz smaller than her biggest and he had to be in the NICU for a couple of days. We are talking what they called the 35 week NICU. I have been to the real NICU with my best friend (her daughter was a 24 weeker) and its NO WHERE near the same. I broke down at his bedside hours after my c-section when I first saw him... he was not really that critical but it was a HUGE deal for me. And *I* got lucky. I was heart broken seeing my son like that and *I* was one of the lucky ones not to have to see their babies literally fighting and struggling for every single breath they take... I just don't get it. I know that it was nothing but sheer luck that I carried that long, I am guessing just for the reason you guys said, I am not strong enough to be a real NICU mom (I am not being sarcastic, I am being as serious as I can be.)
This post will be deleted too I am sure... You all rock. There is no real benefit to being able to carry 3 babies almost full term if you don't have any good charecteristics to go along with it... all that makes her is a walking uterus of steel, not a good mom, not a good person, just a body able to gestate, big freaking whoop.
Oh and to bring my claws out a little, I think she should totally keep going to her salon and trying to beautify herself... she needs all the help she get. Things that make ya go BLECHHHHHHHH

Your post reminded me of another HOM who is often in the news...who managed to carry a LOT more than triplets.. She also seems to go get her hair and nails done, and also managed to sneak a TT in (and deny it).
Just interesting to note the similarities.

#465918, "Showing off the babies, and some decisions."
Wed May-26-10 06:50 PM by roe
So first off,
I had promised my husband that I wouldn't post any pictures of our babies, but seeing as I created such a huge ruckus, it seems like I should just show them off.
I am extremely proud of myself. People can find that annoying. And that's okay. I originally joined this forum when I found out I was pregnant with triplets and was terrified. But I've found more hatred, jealousy, and bitterness here than support. I may post again someday when I have a question, but I doubt it. I went through this whole pregnancy discussing stuff with my doctors, family, and listening to my instincts. I don't see why that would change now. In some way, I have been feeding all this negativity as well. I should have bailed when I saw how negative people here were. I'm not afraid of being without this forum. For me, it hasn't been the support that it's been to some of you. And many women here, are just lurking, looking for an excuse to load their unhappiness on others. I'm not about that.
Wishing you all the best. And thanking those who did help when I asked for it,
Roe & babies.

I'd be super careful with posting pics online. Those things can get stolen and used by fakers very easily. They may have already been posted elsewhere. Just sayin'.

What's scary is your pictures have already gone viral. I saw them three times on Facebook before I even came over here and looked at them. Once you put them out there, they are out there forever.

Very cute kids. I'm truly glad they are all home and doing well.
I'm glad you took the photos down though - gosh I would have been embarressed to have everyone see my messy, unmade bed!! Your nails just look gorgeous in the photo (where do you get them done?).
By the way - I'm one of 'those' folks you offended. Some of us (most of us) talked to our Dr's, prayed, listened to family, followed our instincts and spent weeks and weeks in the hospital - only to come home with part of our trio. I delivered heathy trips and the NICU screwed up a procedure causing the loss of my baby girl. I found your post extremely offensive.
If you had a problem with Michele then why didn't you just e-mail her directly or send her a PM or talk to the mods on this board. You chose to put that post on a public forum. In my opinion, you got what you deserved.

Seriously??? "I don't even care" is your response to someone that had a baby DIE!?!? Yet, you expect the world to stop and the board to bow down to you because you feel that people were too harsh in their advice to you to take it easy. Are you like 12 years old?? The people that gave you that advice only gave it to you because they wanted you to have a long and successful pregnancy that resulted in healthy babies. You don't get it at all. So cold....

Come on over to Facebook and check out Roe's pics that she deleted here. We are studying every nuance of her dirty bedroom, including the unmade bed and electical cords strewn all about. Tsk. Tsk. She's got it going down the shitter already.

75 might be a bit high. Yet, if you consider all the times I was banned, unbanned, re-banned, half-banned, told I was banned but not actually banned, threatened to be banned, banned but told publically I was not banned, and had my super secret new screen name - so you won't know it's really my alter ego - banned...well, I am fairly certain I hold the record. LOL!

It's just like my sister and I joke: Whoever calls "bitch" first, wins.
Roe called foul way back on her first "you let yourselves go" post, so now anyone who retaliates is just "jealous" or "mean." Unfortunately, she doesn't have it in her CHARACTER to admit she was wrong. Then again, she'll always have Gina on her side, won't she? Fighting for the underdog as always?

I was thinking the same thing.
Amazing.... "Whatever, I don't even care" ..... unbelievable. You really are shallow. It is really hard for me to believe that you are a triplet mom. You are so self absorbed it is unreal. I can't believe that you would come in here all smug when you are the one in the wrong. You offended MANY moms here and all you say is "Whatever" to one who calls you out on it.
Do you smell that ladies? That is the smell of a faker. I bet if we do a little digging, we can find that exact picture on another triplet moms page. Afterall, it is summer vacation for alot of the high schools. Triplet moms have a great record at ousting a faker.
Oh, and sweetie. For someone who was willing to put her kids lives at stake just to clean, your bed is a little messy.. Might want to straighten up a little prior to taking pics.
I'd like to think moms of multiples have a higher respect and understanding for other moms since we know how fragile life is. You are a rare breed to be able to come on here and say that you don't care about someone else's loss.
I thought you were leaving already. Don't let the door hit you....

I was going to address directly the rude "Lol, whatever" response but I have a feeling this person craves drama and is sitting back enjoying all this.
So instead of feeding into her need for attention, I'm just going to say to lsmiller: I'm sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. I'm sorry that people can be callous and insensitive, especially people who you expect would understand. I'm sorry that bad things happen to good people, and I'm sorry that instead of showing compassion and humility at being given the wonderful gift of being a mother, a person chooses to use her "perfect" pregnancy as a way to hurt women who were less fortunate in their pregnancies.

#465918, "Showing off the babies, and some decisions."
Wed May-26-10 06:50 PM by roe
So first off,
I had promised my husband that I wouldn't post any pictures of our babies, but seeing as I created such a huge ruckus, it seems like I should just show them off.
I am extremely proud of myself. People can find that annoying. And that's okay. I originally joined this forum when I found out I was pregnant with triplets and was terrified. But I've found more hatred, jealousy, and bitterness here than support. I may post again someday when I have a question, but I doubt it. I went through this whole pregnancy discussing stuff with my doctors, family, and listening to my instincts. I don't see why that would change now. In some way, I have been feeding all this negativity as well. I should have bailed when I saw how negative people here were. I'm not afraid of being without this forum. For me, it hasn't been the support that it's been to some of you. And many women here, are just lurking, looking for an excuse to load their unhappiness on others. I'm not about that.
Wishing you all the best. And thanking those who did help when I asked for it,
Roe & babies.

It's just like my sister and I joke: Whoever calls "bitch" first, wins.
Roe called foul way back on her first "you let yourselves go" post, so now anyone who retaliates is just "jealous" or "mean." Unfortunately, she doesn't have it in her CHARACTER to admit she was wrong. Then again, she'll always have Gina on her side, won't she? Fighting for the underdog as always?

I was thinking the same thing.
Amazing.... "Whatever, I don't even care" ..... unbelievable. You really are shallow. It is really hard for me to believe that you are a triplet mom. You are so self absorbed it is unreal. I can't believe that you would come in here all smug when you are the one in the wrong. You offended MANY moms here and all you say is "Whatever" to one who calls you out on it.
Do you smell that ladies? That is the smell of a faker. I bet if we do a little digging, we can find that exact picture on another triplet moms page. Afterall, it is summer vacation for alot of the high schools. Triplet moms have a great record at ousting a faker.
Oh, and sweetie. For someone who was willing to put her kids lives at stake just to clean, your bed is a little messy.. Might want to straighten up a little prior to taking pics.
I'd like to think moms of multiples have a higher respect and understanding for other moms since we know how fragile life is. You are a rare breed to be able to come on here and say that you don't care about someone else's loss.
I thought you were leaving already. Don't let the door hit you....

I was going to address directly the rude "Lol, whatever" response but I have a feeling this person craves drama and is sitting back enjoying all this.
So instead of feeding into her need for attention, I'm just going to say to lsmiller: I'm sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. I'm sorry that people can be callous and insensitive, especially people who you expect would understand. I'm sorry that bad things happen to good people, and I'm sorry that instead of showing compassion and humility at being given the wonderful gift of being a mother, a person chooses to use her "perfect" pregnancy as a way to hurt women who were less fortunate in their pregnancies.

I'm just wondering who here, besides Roe, made it to their scheduled 37 week c-section with absolutely no complications? No hospital bedrest, no close calls...anyone have a complication-free pregnancy and make it past 36 weeks?

Well, like most doctors, mine would absolutely not let me go to 37 weeks, my ob actually pushed it further than my peri wanted him to and I delivered 36 weeks and had no complications, never in the hospital, no PTL, no pre-e, no bedrest, no nothing.

I didn't, though I didn't have any complications - no pre-e, no bedrest. But my husband's cousin delivered at 37 weeks (and I think a day maybe) and other than a few trips to L&D to be safe, had no problems.

I had a choice of 36 weeks 2 days, 36 weeks 4 days or 37 weeks 1 day and we choose based on who was the best doctor that would be delivering so it ended up being 36+2. I wanted to hold out until 37 weeks and had no issues whatsoever so I probably could have, but knew that I needed to delivery b/w 36-37 weeks and it would be best to do so when the best doctor possible would be around to deliver.
I think anything past 36 weeks is awesome and 37 weeks is pushing it.

I think my doctors would have let me go 37 weeks but I asked to be scheduled at 36. My water broke 3 days before my scheduled c-section but I made it 36w 1d. No bedrest but a few trips to OB Triage to monitor contractions. My only complication was gestational diabetes.

I made it to my scheduled c-section at 36w 2d. I was never officially put on bedrest, but after like 28-30 weeks, I really wasn't doing much other than laying on the couch anyway. I had a couple of trips to L&D to monitor some contractions, but it was never PTL, just needed some extra IV fluids and then back home.

That would be me.
I made it to a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks with no complications. Not even a trip to the hospital prior. Just brethine, at home bedrest and an at home monitor.
My kids all came home with me and in 2 days will officially be 2nd graders. They are perfectly healthy in every way and are incredibly smart, I was told at least one may be gifted.
While I know I am not the norm, it is possible!

I never had a scheduled csection date but our goal the whole time was 36 weeks. I made it to that w/no bedrest/complications, etc. Never had a trip to the er. Nothing. Completely uneventful besides the complete missery of course. I only saw my peri once a month nd then the last month it was every 2 weeks. Once I got to 36 weeks, my peri asked it I wanted to try to go to 37 weeks but I told him I had no interest in continuing so we scheduled for 36w3d and I walked in to the hospital that morning and started having my first ever contractions while waiting for my csection. It got pushed back 5 hours and I was contracting the entire time so no way I would have made it to 37 weeks. Left the hospital after 2 days w/all the kids and the craziness followed. I was VERY LUCKY!

I would put myself in this category. My c-section was schedule for 36 weeks and 3 days but was pushed back to 35 weeks and 6 days. Baby B needed to have surgery right after she was born to close her spine so it all had to be coordinated with other surgeons.
I was never put on bedrest but I couldn't do much so I took it easy - no scrubbing floors or bathrooms here - I lounged around, watched tv and read books. No PTL. I had a few scares, mainly because my first daughter was stillborn at almost 41 weeks so I was a bit on edge for this pregnancy.
Baby B had her surgery and then needed another for a shunt. She spent 3 weeks in the NICU recovering - had no preemie issue. My other 2 munchkins spent 2 days in the special care nursery and then roomed with me and came home with me.

HI!
I was just logging in and was thinking "hmm, wonder if I should update?"
LOL
We got home yesterday! The c- section went well. I won't lie though I was scared out of my friggin mind, especially when after the spinal, I almost fell off the table and the anesthesiologists laughed. They had to give me some valium after that. I never would have thought I would have had a panic attack over something so stupid as almost falling off of a table.
The babies came, and they were (Thank God) healthy and beautiful. I'm sure all mothers feel that way. Even my cynical little heart didn't get in the way of me shedding a few tears when I heard them crying. I think I felt that in some way a part of me was holding my breath until I heard them crying. And then I was in recovery for the rest of the day. My skin was on fire, and it wasn't until much later that they informed me this was a side effect of the anesthesia (what the heck?). You learn something new every day.
Anyway, we were very lucky. The babies were in the NICU for the first few days. My husband and parents took video and pictures for me while I was stuck in recovery. As soon as I could the next day, I limped all the way down to the NICU to see them. And they were okay. Yesterday we were discharged with the two eldest (Triplet A is a girl, and B is a boy) And today baby c came home (girl!)
I'm extremely happy, and grateful, and ready to have another sleepless night. I want to thank you guys who were supportive and awesome, and I hope that I can be useful to someone in the future.
In any case, yayyy.
Roe, and babies. <3
P.S- Thanks for asking!

They were.
The only thing that I wasn't prepared for was their losing some weight (grams) after their birth. The nurse did explain that it was normal, and they lost weight under the normal range, so it wasn't anything to really be concerned about. I mean, I'm ecstatic, and after seeing what other parents were dealing with in the NICU, it was all I could do not to fall on the ground and just give thanks over and over that mine were only there for observation.

Wow, NICU time? I'm surprised about that. I thought it was a sealed deal ~ 36 weeks = No Nicu? What happened?
Glad everyone is home with you under one roof. Hope everything works out the way you planned and imagined!

Nothing really. But the policy was to put them in NICU to observe them. They were only there for two days, and even there they were eating like monsters, and in cribs.
And now they are home, and they are absolutely wonderful. Pooping, and cooing, and posing for pictures!!!

I had a C-section and I was down in the NICU within an hour to see my kids. They just rolled my cart down there. I didn't even have to get up. I had to go through a long underground tunnel that connected the two hospitals. I would have refused to wait until the next day to see my babies. Yes, I had a spinal and had to lay flat afterwards.

I admire that. My hospital said that they couldn't let me go anywhere, and I had to stay a minimum of two hours in recovery. I was there all day long. The babies were born in the morning, and by the time I got a room it was already 8 pm. I got there as soon as I could, but I would definitely have loved to have been able to see them as soon as you saw yours. But it doesn't matter now, they are all home, and we're all happy.

Congrats Roe! Glad you were able to get ready for the delivery.
What were their weights? Did they go straight to the step down NICU? Did you kangaroo? Are you breast feeding/pumping?

They did go straight to the straight down, and unfortunately, I didn't get to kangaroo. The whole first day of their birth, I remained loopy, and in recovery. I had this whole fantasy about how I was going to give them my breast milk right away, and I now I'm just pumping, and phasing out the formula. (This proves difficult when I wake up half asleep, and don't have the energy to warm the refrigerated breast milk.) We have the formula in the little bottles that comes ready to feed, so I do use those when I need something fast to feed them with.
But yea, there was one thing that I had to give up. I did get to hold them, and fed them a few times while they were in the NICU. But I'm sure it would have been amazing if I had kangarooed.
And at birth these were their weights
Annie- 5lbs 1 ounce
Eli- 5lbs
Athena- 4lbs 7 ounces
Of course they all lost weight, and were in the 4lb category by the time I went in the NICU. I wasn't prepared for that. I just had it as a given that they would keep the weights that they were born with. But thankfully, they gained weight, maintained their temps, and were able to come home. Today was their first dr's appointment, and they are gaining weight so I'm happy about that.

Don't warm it! If you can get away with feeding it to them cold, do that. There's no reason it has to be warmed, other than people do it, and they get used to it. It'll make things tons easier if they are willing to drink it cold, for those half-asleep moments.
Mine are 15 months and I still warm it for them, only because I hate cold drinks, so feel badly making them drink cold when I won't do it myself. It's a pain.

I have an aunt who told me that if I feed them cold milk, they are going to develop stomach problems. Chances are it's a wive's tale. I did originally try to leave the storage bottles out of the fridge, but then I got paranoid that I had left them out too long, and ended up throwing out some good milk. I figured if they were in the fridge I would have peace of mind that it was good when I went in with the feedings.

Can't wait to hear your birth story. You seem to have so much time with your take home babies and recovering from a C-section at the same time, surely you can provide us with your birth story chock full of details! What's your schedule like? Are they sleeping through the night yet?

Lol.
I have alot of family here. That means, I get alot of help with stuff around the house. So yes, considering that I have three babies at home, I do have time during the day. I am recovering really well from my c-section. With the exception of my Shrek feet, I'm doing awesome. And nope, not sleeping through the night yet, but they do sleep through the day, and as long as I'm getting some sleep in, we're good.

What is the point of being snarky now, ladies. The original poster seemed to be genuine in her asking about Roe so what was the point of dragging in the past posts?
Was I offended by what she wrote, sure, but why let it ruin my day, week, month, etc. I am glad she was able to make it to her desired date. Wish I could have but my body gave out. I do have miracle babies though so I am happy for that.
YOu go girl for getting your nails done! Mine were painted too but they were done in the hospital. Not much else going on and my nails looked GORGEOUS for once! There are many moms on here who get their nails done even after their kids are born.

Yes, I am serious. If they were trying to draw her out then it worked. Roe did not answer this time in a manner that was hurtful. Maybe the person who should be attacked is the original poster. Obviously she has time on her hands to draw up some drama. Why did they want to "draw her out of her hole"?
It is the way of the boards to attack, praise, insult, help etc. I do my share too. That's life.

Susan, she is not getting away with what she said without understanding what her words did to other people. She needs to learn that if she has any redemption on this board. Without that lesson, there is no reason to believe that she won't spout her big fat trap off again and hurt the same people.

That is just it. Who cares if she does? Why let her have the satisfaction of hurting you? A lot of people say things that hurt but why let them ruin your day? If she hurts the same people, then it is those people who need to handle it not everyone else. What about all the people who throw insults at us about our kids?
"I would die if I have triplets!"
"My God, I would kill myself!"
"Did you do those fertility drugs?"
"I would have my wife remove her ovaries after that!"
It is the way of the world. People will say things that you don't like. Do you have to respond to it, no. Will you ever see those people again or meet Roe in person? I would venture that 90% of the time it won't happen.
I think she knows she hurt people. Enough responded and let her know. Willshe likely repeat this behavior, I am going to say yes but you can't stop her. Will people respond back, yes. Some will be helpful and some will be just as hurtful.
Again, that is life. You can choose to let it effect though. (and I mean "you" in the sense of everyone including me).

Excellent point. How can we find out if she is real? I have been thinking this for months, that she was a faker. Is there a way to check her out? I mean...come on. She was ruthless with her last mean post and seriously upset people. She comes back and doesn't even apologize, just goes right on with life. But, I am thinking we have to find out, because it would make sense. Who can do that? A moderator or somebody?

Let me ask you something Michelle,
Who held you and two other posters accountable when you joked that I would deliver pre term sick babies. You hypocrite.
I don't need your redemption. I addressed the people who were hurt, who I did not intend to hurt. That's it. I don't really care about the rest. You sound really jealous, and insecure. Not a good look, but I guess you know that already. Keep trying to cover up your ugly with that sarcasm, and "wit".

Susan, I think the problem I had with that woman's comments is that she is a triplet mom (supposedly). She should know better. I get comments of "I'd die if I had triplets" but they're not triplet moms who don't understand and who will never understand the joys and trials of being a HOM mom so whatever. But to have another triplet mom shove in my face that she "did something right" to make it to 36+ weeks while I must have done something wrong to have micro preemies is just insensitive, and rude. But I guess some people are just a--holes.

We will just agree to disagree on this matter. I have micro preemies (24 weekers) and what was said made no difference to me. If she did something right, wrong, or other it makes no difference to me. Hell, I have said to other MOMs that I would not wish a triplet pregnancy on anyone!!

First of all,
I'm sorry that what I wrote offended you. But try to understand that when someone tells you that you are going to fail, and they predict that your children are going to end up sick, or die, well it kind of has the effect of pissing someone off. If I could write that post again, maybe I would have tried to have been more specific towards the individuals it was directed to.
And I really do hope that I can get my nails done sometime soon. Before the birth, I went and bought a manicure, and pedicure kit, just in case I won't be able to get away to get my nails done. This way, when I need it, I can just sit in my living room, and give myself some pampering. In a month or so, I doubt my family will be as ecstatic as they are now, to shoo me away while they try to hog my babies. lol

I'm just wondering who here, besides Roe, made it to their scheduled 37 week c-section with absolutely no complications? No hospital bedrest, no close calls...anyone have a complication-free pregnancy and make it past 36 weeks?

Well, like most doctors, mine would absolutely not let me go to 37 weeks, my ob actually pushed it further than my peri wanted him to and I delivered 36 weeks and had no complications, never in the hospital, no PTL, no pre-e, no bedrest, no nothing.

I didn't, though I didn't have any complications - no pre-e, no bedrest. But my husband's cousin delivered at 37 weeks (and I think a day maybe) and other than a few trips to L&D to be safe, had no problems.

I had a choice of 36 weeks 2 days, 36 weeks 4 days or 37 weeks 1 day and we choose based on who was the best doctor that would be delivering so it ended up being 36+2. I wanted to hold out until 37 weeks and had no issues whatsoever so I probably could have, but knew that I needed to delivery b/w 36-37 weeks and it would be best to do so when the best doctor possible would be around to deliver.
I think anything past 36 weeks is awesome and 37 weeks is pushing it.

I think my doctors would have let me go 37 weeks but I asked to be scheduled at 36. My water broke 3 days before my scheduled c-section but I made it 36w 1d. No bedrest but a few trips to OB Triage to monitor contractions. My only complication was gestational diabetes.

I made it to my scheduled c-section at 36w 2d. I was never officially put on bedrest, but after like 28-30 weeks, I really wasn't doing much other than laying on the couch anyway. I had a couple of trips to L&D to monitor some contractions, but it was never PTL, just needed some extra IV fluids and then back home.

That would be me.
I made it to a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks with no complications. Not even a trip to the hospital prior. Just brethine, at home bedrest and an at home monitor.
My kids all came home with me and in 2 days will officially be 2nd graders. They are perfectly healthy in every way and are incredibly smart, I was told at least one may be gifted.
While I know I am not the norm, it is possible!

I never had a scheduled csection date but our goal the whole time was 36 weeks. I made it to that w/no bedrest/complications, etc. Never had a trip to the er. Nothing. Completely uneventful besides the complete missery of course. I only saw my peri once a month nd then the last month it was every 2 weeks. Once I got to 36 weeks, my peri asked it I wanted to try to go to 37 weeks but I told him I had no interest in continuing so we scheduled for 36w3d and I walked in to the hospital that morning and started having my first ever contractions while waiting for my csection. It got pushed back 5 hours and I was contracting the entire time so no way I would have made it to 37 weeks. Left the hospital after 2 days w/all the kids and the craziness followed. I was VERY LUCKY!

I would put myself in this category. My c-section was schedule for 36 weeks and 3 days but was pushed back to 35 weeks and 6 days. Baby B needed to have surgery right after she was born to close her spine so it all had to be coordinated with other surgeons.
I was never put on bedrest but I couldn't do much so I took it easy - no scrubbing floors or bathrooms here - I lounged around, watched tv and read books. No PTL. I had a few scares, mainly because my first daughter was stillborn at almost 41 weeks so I was a bit on edge for this pregnancy.
Baby B had her surgery and then needed another for a shunt. She spent 3 weeks in the NICU recovering - had no preemie issue. My other 2 munchkins spent 2 days in the special care nursery and then roomed with me and came home with me.

HI!
I was just logging in and was thinking "hmm, wonder if I should update?"
LOL
We got home yesterday! The c- section went well. I won't lie though I was scared out of my friggin mind, especially when after the spinal, I almost fell off the table and the anesthesiologists laughed. They had to give me some valium after that. I never would have thought I would have had a panic attack over something so stupid as almost falling off of a table.
The babies came, and they were (Thank God) healthy and beautiful. I'm sure all mothers feel that way. Even my cynical little heart didn't get in the way of me shedding a few tears when I heard them crying. I think I felt that in some way a part of me was holding my breath until I heard them crying. And then I was in recovery for the rest of the day. My skin was on fire, and it wasn't until much later that they informed me this was a side effect of the anesthesia (what the heck?). You learn something new every day.
Anyway, we were very lucky. The babies were in the NICU for the first few days. My husband and parents took video and pictures for me while I was stuck in recovery. As soon as I could the next day, I limped all the way down to the NICU to see them. And they were okay. Yesterday we were discharged with the two eldest (Triplet A is a girl, and B is a boy) And today baby c came home (girl!)
I'm extremely happy, and grateful, and ready to have another sleepless night. I want to thank you guys who were supportive and awesome, and I hope that I can be useful to someone in the future.
In any case, yayyy.
Roe, and babies. <3
P.S- Thanks for asking!

Well, everything else aside, congratulations. Sorry they had to have any time in the NICU... just a few days can make a difference. Congrats again.

Thanks. No need to be sorry about the NICU. It only lasted for a few days and it was for observation.

They were.
The only thing that I wasn't prepared for was their losing some weight (grams) after their birth. The nurse did explain that it was normal, and they lost weight under the normal range, so it wasn't anything to really be concerned about. I mean, I'm ecstatic, and after seeing what other parents were dealing with in the NICU, it was all I could do not to fall on the ground and just give thanks over and over that mine were only there for observation.

Wow, NICU time? I'm surprised about that. I thought it was a sealed deal ~ 36 weeks = No Nicu? What happened?
Glad everyone is home with you under one roof. Hope everything works out the way you planned and imagined!
Stay rested and positive.

Nothing really. But the policy was to put them in NICU to observe them. They were only there for two days, and even there they were eating like monsters, and in cribs.
And now they are home, and they are absolutely wonderful. Pooping, and cooing, and posing for pictures!!!

I got my hair and nails done before I gave birth. And my floors were also cleaned before the arrival of the trips.
And no, I didn't catch up on any ruckus that I "caused". Thanks for saving it!

I had a C-section and I was down in the NICU within an hour to see my kids. They just rolled my cart down there. I didn't even have to get up. I had to go through a long underground tunnel that connected the two hospitals. I would have refused to wait until the next day to see my babies. Yes, I had a spinal and had to lay flat afterwards.

I admire that. My hospital said that they couldn't let me go anywhere, and I had to stay a minimum of two hours in recovery. I was there all day long. The babies were born in the morning, and by the time I got a room it was already 8 pm. I got there as soon as I could, but I would definitely have loved to have been able to see them as soon as you saw yours. But it doesn't matter now, they are all home, and we're all happy.

Congrats Roe! Glad you were able to get ready for the delivery.
What were their weights? Did they go straight to the step down NICU? Did you kangaroo? Are you breast feeding/pumping?

They did go straight to the straight down, and unfortunately, I didn't get to kangaroo. The whole first day of their birth, I remained loopy, and in recovery. I had this whole fantasy about how I was going to give them my breast milk right away, and I now I'm just pumping, and phasing out the formula. (This proves difficult when I wake up half asleep, and don't have the energy to warm the refrigerated breast milk.) We have the formula in the little bottles that comes ready to feed, so I do use those when I need something fast to feed them with.
But yea, there was one thing that I had to give up. I did get to hold them, and fed them a few times while they were in the NICU. But I'm sure it would have been amazing if I had kangarooed.
And at birth these were their weights
Annie- 5lbs 1 ounce
Eli- 5lbs
Athena- 4lbs 7 ounces
Of course they all lost weight, and were in the 4lb category by the time I went in the NICU. I wasn't prepared for that. I just had it as a given that they would keep the weights that they were born with. But thankfully, they gained weight, maintained their temps, and were able to come home. Today was their first dr's appointment, and they are gaining weight so I'm happy about that.

Don't warm it! If you can get away with feeding it to them cold, do that. There's no reason it has to be warmed, other than people do it, and they get used to it. It'll make things tons easier if they are willing to drink it cold, for those half-asleep moments.
Mine are 15 months and I still warm it for them, only because I hate cold drinks, so feel badly making them drink cold when I won't do it myself. It's a pain.

I have an aunt who told me that if I feed them cold milk, they are going to develop stomach problems. Chances are it's a wive's tale. I did originally try to leave the storage bottles out of the fridge, but then I got paranoid that I had left them out too long, and ended up throwing out some good milk. I figured if they were in the fridge I would have peace of mind that it was good when I went in with the feedings.

Can't wait to hear your birth story. You seem to have so much time with your take home babies and recovering from a C-section at the same time, surely you can provide us with your birth story chock full of details! What's your schedule like? Are they sleeping through the night yet?

I have alot of family here. That means, I get alot of help with stuff around the house. So yes, considering that I have three babies at home, I do have time during the day. I am recovering really well from my c-section. With the exception of my Shrek feet, I'm doing awesome. And nope, not sleeping through the night yet, but they do sleep through the day, and as long as I'm getting some sleep in, we're good.

What is the point of being snarky now, ladies. The original poster seemed to be genuine in her asking about Roe so what was the point of dragging in the past posts?
Was I offended by what she wrote, sure, but why let it ruin my day, week, month, etc. I am glad she was able to make it to her desired date. Wish I could have but my body gave out. I do have miracle babies though so I am happy for that.
YOu go girl for getting your nails done! Mine were painted too but they were done in the hospital. Not much else going on and my nails looked GORGEOUS for once! There are many moms on here who get their nails done even after their kids are born.

Yes, I am serious. If they were trying to draw her out then it worked. Roe did not answer this time in a manner that was hurtful. Maybe the person who should be attacked is the original poster. Obviously she has time on her hands to draw up some drama. Why did they want to "draw her out of her hole"?
It is the way of the boards to attack, praise, insult, help etc. I do my share too. That's life.

Susan, she is not getting away with what she said without understanding what her words did to other people. She needs to learn that if she has any redemption on this board. Without that lesson, there is no reason to believe that she won't spout her big fat trap off again and hurt the same people.

That is just it. Who cares if she does? Why let her have the satisfaction of hurting you? A lot of people say things that hurt but why let them ruin your day? If she hurts the same people, then it is those people who need to handle it not everyone else. What about all the people who throw insults at us about our kids?
"I would die if I have triplets!"
"My God, I would kill myself!"
"Did you do those fertility drugs?"
"I would have my wife remove her ovaries after that!"
It is the way of the world. People will say things that you don't like. Do you have to respond to it, no. Will you ever see those people again or meet Roe in person? I would venture that 90% of the time it won't happen.
I think she knows she hurt people. Enough responded and let her know. Willshe likely repeat this behavior, I am going to say yes but you can't stop her. Will people respond back, yes. Some will be helpful and some will be just as hurtful.
Again, that is life. You can choose to let it effect though. (and I mean "you" in the sense of everyone including me).

Excellent point. How can we find out if she is real? I have been thinking this for months, that she was a faker. Is there a way to check her out? I mean...come on. She was ruthless with her last mean post and seriously upset people. She comes back and doesn't even apologize, just goes right on with life. But, I am thinking we have to find out, because it would make sense. Who can do that? A moderator or somebody?

Let me ask you something Michelle,
Who held you and two other posters accountable when you joked that I would deliver pre term sick babies. You hypocrite.
I don't need your redemption. I addressed the people who were hurt, who I did not intend to hurt. That's it. I don't really care about the rest. You sound really jealous, and insecure. Not a good look, but I guess you know that already. Keep trying to cover up your ugly with that sarcasm, and "wit".

Susan, I think the problem I had with that woman's comments is that she is a triplet mom (supposedly). She should know better. I get comments of "I'd die if I had triplets" but they're not triplet moms who don't understand and who will never understand the joys and trials of being a HOM mom so whatever. But to have another triplet mom shove in my face that she "did something right" to make it to 36+ weeks while I must have done something wrong to have micro preemies is just insensitive, and rude. But I guess some people are just a--holes.

We will just agree to disagree on this matter. I have micro preemies (24 weekers) and what was said made no difference to me. If she did something right, wrong, or other it makes no difference to me. Hell, I have said to other MOMs that I would not wish a triplet pregnancy on anyone!!

First of all,
I'm sorry that what I wrote offended you. But try to understand that when someone tells you that you are going to fail, and they predict that your children are going to end up sick, or die, well it kind of has the effect of pissing someone off. If I could write that post again, maybe I would have tried to have been more specific towards the individuals it was directed to.
And I really do hope that I can get my nails done sometime soon. Before the birth, I went and bought a manicure, and pedicure kit, just in case I won't be able to get away to get my nails done. This way, when I need it, I can just sit in my living room, and give myself some pampering. In a month or so, I doubt my family will be as ecstatic as they are now, to shoo me away while they try to hog my babies. lol

I'm just wondering who here, besides Roe, made it to their scheduled 37 week c-section with absolutely no complications? No hospital bedrest, no close calls...anyone have a complication-free pregnancy and make it past 36 weeks?

Well, like most doctors, mine would absolutely not let me go to 37 weeks, my ob actually pushed it further than my peri wanted him to and I delivered 36 weeks and had no complications, never in the hospital, no PTL, no pre-e, no bedrest, no nothing.

I didn't, though I didn't have any complications - no pre-e, no bedrest. But my husband's cousin delivered at 37 weeks (and I think a day maybe) and other than a few trips to L&D to be safe, had no problems.

I had a choice of 36 weeks 2 days, 36 weeks 4 days or 37 weeks 1 day and we choose based on who was the best doctor that would be delivering so it ended up being 36+2. I wanted to hold out until 37 weeks and had no issues whatsoever so I probably could have, but knew that I needed to delivery b/w 36-37 weeks and it would be best to do so when the best doctor possible would be around to deliver.
I think anything past 36 weeks is awesome and 37 weeks is pushing it.

I think my doctors would have let me go 37 weeks but I asked to be scheduled at 36. My water broke 3 days before my scheduled c-section but I made it 36w 1d. No bedrest but a few trips to OB Triage to monitor contractions. My only complication was gestational diabetes.

I made it to my scheduled c-section at 36w 2d. I was never officially put on bedrest, but after like 28-30 weeks, I really wasn't doing much other than laying on the couch anyway. I had a couple of trips to L&D to monitor some contractions, but it was never PTL, just needed some extra IV fluids and then back home.

That would be me.
I made it to a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks with no complications. Not even a trip to the hospital prior. Just brethine, at home bedrest and an at home monitor.
My kids all came home with me and in 2 days will officially be 2nd graders. They are perfectly healthy in every way and are incredibly smart, I was told at least one may be gifted.
While I know I am not the norm, it is possible!

I never had a scheduled csection date but our goal the whole time was 36 weeks. I made it to that w/no bedrest/complications, etc. Never had a trip to the er. Nothing. Completely uneventful besides the complete missery of course. I only saw my peri once a month nd then the last month it was every 2 weeks. Once I got to 36 weeks, my peri asked it I wanted to try to go to 37 weeks but I told him I had no interest in continuing so we scheduled for 36w3d and I walked in to the hospital that morning and started having my first ever contractions while waiting for my csection. It got pushed back 5 hours and I was contracting the entire time so no way I would have made it to 37 weeks. Left the hospital after 2 days w/all the kids and the craziness followed. I was VERY LUCKY!

I would put myself in this category. My c-section was schedule for 36 weeks and 3 days but was pushed back to 35 weeks and 6 days. Baby B needed to have surgery right after she was born to close her spine so it all had to be coordinated with other surgeons.
I was never put on bedrest but I couldn't do much so I took it easy - no scrubbing floors or bathrooms here - I lounged around, watched tv and read books. No PTL. I had a few scares, mainly because my first daughter was stillborn at almost 41 weeks so I was a bit on edge for this pregnancy.
Baby B had her surgery and then needed another for a shunt. She spent 3 weeks in the NICU recovering - had no preemie issue. My other 2 munchkins spent 2 days in the special care nursery and then roomed with me and came home with me.

HI!
I was just logging in and was thinking "hmm, wonder if I should update?"
LOL
We got home yesterday! The c- section went well. I won't lie though I was scared out of my friggin mind, especially when after the spinal, I almost fell off the table and the anesthesiologists laughed. They had to give me some valium after that. I never would have thought I would have had a panic attack over something so stupid as almost falling off of a table.
The babies came, and they were (Thank God) healthy and beautiful. I'm sure all mothers feel that way. Even my cynical little heart didn't get in the way of me shedding a few tears when I heard them crying. I think I felt that in some way a part of me was holding my breath until I heard them crying. And then I was in recovery for the rest of the day. My skin was on fire, and it wasn't until much later that they informed me this was a side effect of the anesthesia (what the heck?). You learn something new every day.
Anyway, we were very lucky. The babies were in the NICU for the first few days. My husband and parents took video and pictures for me while I was stuck in recovery. As soon as I could the next day, I limped all the way down to the NICU to see them. And they were okay. Yesterday we were discharged with the two eldest (Triplet A is a girl, and B is a boy) And today baby c came home (girl!)
I'm extremely happy, and grateful, and ready to have another sleepless night. I want to thank you guys who were supportive and awesome, and I hope that I can be useful to someone in the future.
In any case, yayyy.
Roe, and babies. <3
P.S- Thanks for asking!

They were.
The only thing that I wasn't prepared for was their losing some weight (grams) after their birth. The nurse did explain that it was normal, and they lost weight under the normal range, so it wasn't anything to really be concerned about. I mean, I'm ecstatic, and after seeing what other parents were dealing with in the NICU, it was all I could do not to fall on the ground and just give thanks over and over that mine were only there for observation.

Wow, NICU time? I'm surprised about that. I thought it was a sealed deal ~ 36 weeks = No Nicu? What happened?
Glad everyone is home with you under one roof. Hope everything works out the way you planned and imagined!

Nothing really. But the policy was to put them in NICU to observe them. They were only there for two days, and even there they were eating like monsters, and in cribs.
And now they are home, and they are absolutely wonderful. Pooping, and cooing, and posing for pictures!!!

You're welcome. You hurt a lot of women on this site with your callous words, which I think were directed to me, but nevertheless really hurt people who have lost a child or had an unfavorable outcome. When you aren't being so self-absorbed, why don't you check out the berievement board or the special needs board.
Then since you told me to eat Sh$t, let me tell you to Roe, Roe, Roe your boat to hell, you psycho, probably faker.

Can't wait to hear your birth story. You seem to have so much time with your take home babies and recovering from a C-section at the same time, surely you can provide us with your birth story chock full of details! What's your schedule like? Are they sleeping through the night yet?

What is the point of being snarky now, ladies. The original poster seemed to be genuine in her asking about Roe so what was the point of dragging in the past posts?
Was I offended by what she wrote, sure, but why let it ruin my day, week, month, etc. I am glad she was able to make it to her desired date. Wish I could have but my body gave out. I do have miracle babies though so I am happy for that.
YOu go girl for getting your nails done! Mine were painted too but they were done in the hospital. Not much else going on and my nails looked GORGEOUS for once! There are many moms on here who get their nails done even after their kids are born.

Yes, I am serious. If they were trying to draw her out then it worked. Roe did not answer this time in a manner that was hurtful. Maybe the person who should be attacked is the original poster. Obviously she has time on her hands to draw up some drama. Why did they want to "draw her out of her hole"?
It is the way of the boards to attack, praise, insult, help etc. I do my share too. That's life.

Susan, she is not getting away with what she said without understanding what her words did to other people. She needs to learn that if she has any redemption on this board. Without that lesson, there is no reason to believe that she won't spout her big fat trap off again and hurt the same people.

That is just it. Who cares if she does? Why let her have the satisfaction of hurting you? A lot of people say things that hurt but why let them ruin your day? If she hurts the same people, then it is those people who need to handle it not everyone else. What about all the people who throw insults at us about our kids?
"I would die if I have triplets!"
"My God, I would kill myself!"
"Did you do those fertility drugs?"
"I would have my wife remove her ovaries after that!"
It is the way of the world. People will say things that you don't like. Do you have to respond to it, no. Will you ever see those people again or meet Roe in person? I would venture that 90% of the time it won't happen.
I think she knows she hurt people. Enough responded and let her know. Willshe likely repeat this behavior, I am going to say yes but you can't stop her. Will people respond back, yes. Some will be helpful and some will be just as hurtful.
Again, that is life. You can choose to let it effect though. (and I mean "you" in the sense of everyone including me).

(Susan stop ruining my entertainment for the day!!!). Do you think I actually care about Roe? In the grand scheme of life, I put this up there with a Judge Judy episode. You may call me Judge Michele. If we all had roles here, I would just be the pot stirrer. I don't take any of this seriously. It's fodder for our next triplet mom dinner. I am still working on whether or not she's real. Stay tuned.............

Excellent point. How can we find out if she is real? I have been thinking this for months, that she was a faker. Is there a way to check her out? I mean...come on. She was ruthless with her last mean post and seriously upset people. She comes back and doesn't even apologize, just goes right on with life. But, I am thinking we have to find out, because it would make sense. Who can do that? A moderator or somebody?

Susan, I think the problem I had with that woman's comments is that she is a triplet mom (supposedly). She should know better. I get comments of "I'd die if I had triplets" but they're not triplet moms who don't understand and who will never understand the joys and trials of being a HOM mom so whatever. But to have another triplet mom shove in my face that she "did something right" to make it to 36+ weeks while I must have done something wrong to have micro preemies is just insensitive, and rude. But I guess some people are just a--holes.

We will just agree to disagree on this matter. I have micro preemies (24 weekers) and what was said made no difference to me. If she did something right, wrong, or other it makes no difference to me. Hell, I have said to other MOMs that I would not wish a triplet pregnancy on anyone!!

I'm just wondering who here, besides Roe, made it to their scheduled 37 week c-section with absolutely no complications? No hospital bedrest, no close calls...anyone have a complication-free pregnancy and make it past 36 weeks?

Well, like most doctors, mine would absolutely not let me go to 37 weeks, my ob actually pushed it further than my peri wanted him to and I delivered 36 weeks and had no complications, never in the hospital, no PTL, no pre-e, no bedrest, no nothing.

I didn't, though I didn't have any complications - no pre-e, no bedrest. But my husband's cousin delivered at 37 weeks (and I think a day maybe) and other than a few trips to L&D to be safe, had no problems.

I had a choice of 36 weeks 2 days, 36 weeks 4 days or 37 weeks 1 day and we choose based on who was the best doctor that would be delivering so it ended up being 36+2. I wanted to hold out until 37 weeks and had no issues whatsoever so I probably could have, but knew that I needed to delivery b/w 36-37 weeks and it would be best to do so when the best doctor possible would be around to deliver.
I think anything past 36 weeks is awesome and 37 weeks is pushing it.

I think my doctors would have let me go 37 weeks but I asked to be scheduled at 36. My water broke 3 days before my scheduled c-section but I made it 36w 1d. No bedrest but a few trips to OB Triage to monitor contractions. My only complication was gestational diabetes.

I made it to my scheduled c-section at 36w 2d. I was never officially put on bedrest, but after like 28-30 weeks, I really wasn't doing much other than laying on the couch anyway. I had a couple of trips to L&D to monitor some contractions, but it was never PTL, just needed some extra IV fluids and then back home.

That would be me.
I made it to a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks with no complications. Not even a trip to the hospital prior. Just brethine, at home bedrest and an at home monitor.
My kids all came home with me and in 2 days will officially be 2nd graders. They are perfectly healthy in every way and are incredibly smart, I was told at least one may be gifted.
While I know I am not the norm, it is possible!

I never had a scheduled csection date but our goal the whole time was 36 weeks. I made it to that w/no bedrest/complications, etc. Never had a trip to the er. Nothing. Completely uneventful besides the complete missery of course. I only saw my peri once a month nd then the last month it was every 2 weeks. Once I got to 36 weeks, my peri asked it I wanted to try to go to 37 weeks but I told him I had no interest in continuing so we scheduled for 36w3d and I walked in to the hospital that morning and started having my first ever contractions while waiting for my csection. It got pushed back 5 hours and I was contracting the entire time so no way I would have made it to 37 weeks. Left the hospital after 2 days w/all the kids and the craziness followed. I was VERY LUCKY!

I would put myself in this category. My c-section was schedule for 36 weeks and 3 days but was pushed back to 35 weeks and 6 days. Baby B needed to have surgery right after she was born to close her spine so it all had to be coordinated with other surgeons.
I was never put on bedrest but I couldn't do much so I took it easy - no scrubbing floors or bathrooms here - I lounged around, watched tv and read books. No PTL. I had a few scares, mainly because my first daughter was stillborn at almost 41 weeks so I was a bit on edge for this pregnancy.
Baby B had her surgery and then needed another for a shunt. She spent 3 weeks in the NICU recovering - had no preemie issue. My other 2 munchkins spent 2 days in the special care nursery and then roomed with me and came home with me.

HI!
I was just logging in and was thinking "hmm, wonder if I should update?"
LOL
We got home yesterday! The c- section went well. I won't lie though I was scared out of my friggin mind, especially when after the spinal, I almost fell off the table and the anesthesiologists laughed. They had to give me some valium after that. I never would have thought I would have had a panic attack over something so stupid as almost falling off of a table.
The babies came, and they were (Thank God) healthy and beautiful. I'm sure all mothers feel that way. Even my cynical little heart didn't get in the way of me shedding a few tears when I heard them crying. I think I felt that in some way a part of me was holding my breath until I heard them crying. And then I was in recovery for the rest of the day. My skin was on fire, and it wasn't until much later that they informed me this was a side effect of the anesthesia (what the heck?). You learn something new every day.
Anyway, we were very lucky. The babies were in the NICU for the first few days. My husband and parents took video and pictures for me while I was stuck in recovery. As soon as I could the next day, I limped all the way down to the NICU to see them. And they were okay. Yesterday we were discharged with the two eldest (Triplet A is a girl, and B is a boy) And today baby c came home (girl!)
I'm extremely happy, and grateful, and ready to have another sleepless night. I want to thank you guys who were supportive and awesome, and I hope that I can be useful to someone in the future.
In any case, yayyy.
Roe, and babies. <3
P.S- Thanks for asking!

They were.
The only thing that I wasn't prepared for was their losing some weight (grams) after their birth. The nurse did explain that it was normal, and they lost weight under the normal range, so it wasn't anything to really be concerned about. I mean, I'm ecstatic, and after seeing what other parents were dealing with in the NICU, it was all I could do not to fall on the ground and just give thanks over and over that mine were only there for observation.

Wow, NICU time? I'm surprised about that. I thought it was a sealed deal ~ 36 weeks = No Nicu? What happened?
Glad everyone is home with you under one roof. Hope everything works out the way you planned and imagined!
Stay rested and positive.

Nothing really. But the policy was to put them in NICU to observe them. They were only there for two days, and even there they were eating like monsters, and in cribs.
And now they are home, and they are absolutely wonderful. Pooping, and cooing, and posing for pictures!!!

And no, I didn't catch up on any ruckus that I "caused". Thanks for saving it!

You're welcome. You hurt a lot of women on this site with your callous words, which I think were directed to me, but nevertheless really hurt people who have lost a child or had an unfavorable outcome. When you aren't being so self-absorbed, why don't you check out the berievement board or the special needs board.
Then since you told me to eat Sh$t, let me tell you to Roe, Roe, Roe your boat to hell, you psycho, probably faker.

What were their weights? Did they go straight to the step down NICU? Did you kangaroo? Are you breast feeding/pumping?

Can't wait to hear your birth story. You seem to have so much time with your take home babies and recovering from a C-section at the same time, surely you can provide us with your birth story chock full of details! What's your schedule like? Are they sleeping through the night yet?

What is the point of being snarky now, ladies. The original poster seemed to be genuine in her asking about Roe so what was the point of dragging in the past posts?
Was I offended by what she wrote, sure, but why let it ruin my day, week, month, etc. I am glad she was able to make it to her desired date. Wish I could have but my body gave out. I do have miracle babies though so I am happy for that.
YOu go girl for getting your nails done! Mine were painted too but they were done in the hospital. Not much else going on and my nails looked GORGEOUS for once! There are many moms on here who get their nails done even after their kids are born.

Yes, I am serious. If they were trying to draw her out then it worked. Roe did not answer this time in a manner that was hurtful. Maybe the person who should be attacked is the original poster. Obviously she has time on her hands to draw up some drama. Why did they want to "draw her out of her hole"?
It is the way of the boards to attack, praise, insult, help etc. I do my share too. That's life.

Susan, she is not getting away with what she said without understanding what her words did to other people. She needs to learn that if she has any redemption on this board. Without that lesson, there is no reason to believe that she won't spout her big fat trap off again and hurt the same people.

That is just it. Who cares if she does? Why let her have the satisfaction of hurting you? A lot of people say things that hurt but why let them ruin your day? If she hurts the same people, then it is those people who need to handle it not everyone else. What about all the people who throw insults at us about our kids?
"I would die if I have triplets!"
"My God, I would kill myself!"
"Did you do those fertility drugs?"
"I would have my wife remove her ovaries after that!"
It is the way of the world. People will say things that you don't like. Do you have to respond to it, no. Will you ever see those people again or meet Roe in person? I would venture that 90% of the time it won't happen.
I think she knows she hurt people. Enough responded and let her know. Willshe likely repeat this behavior, I am going to say yes but you can't stop her. Will people respond back, yes. Some will be helpful and some will be just as hurtful.
Again, that is life. You can choose to let it effect though. (and I mean "you" in the sense of everyone including me).

(Susan stop ruining my entertainment for the day!!!). Do you think I actually care about Roe? In the grand scheme of life, I put this up there with a Judge Judy episode. You may call me Judge Michele. If we all had roles here, I would just be the pot stirrer. I don't take any of this seriously. It's fodder for our next triplet mom dinner. I am still working on whether or not she's real. Stay tuned.............

Excellent point. How can we find out if she is real? I have been thinking this for months, that she was a faker. Is there a way to check her out? I mean...come on. She was ruthless with her last mean post and seriously upset people. She comes back and doesn't even apologize, just goes right on with life. But, I am thinking we have to find out, because it would make sense. Who can do that? A moderator or somebody?

Susan, I think the problem I had with that woman's comments is that she is a triplet mom (supposedly). She should know better. I get comments of "I'd die if I had triplets" but they're not triplet moms who don't understand and who will never understand the joys and trials of being a HOM mom so whatever. But to have another triplet mom shove in my face that she "did something right" to make it to 36+ weeks while I must have done something wrong to have micro preemies is just insensitive, and rude. But I guess some people are just a--holes.

We will just agree to disagree on this matter. I have micro preemies (24 weekers) and what was said made no difference to me. If she did something right, wrong, or other it makes no difference to me. Hell, I have said to other MOMs that I would not wish a triplet pregnancy on anyone!!
MSTAR, glad to hear that you are the designated "pot stirrer" but I think we all figured that out LLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG ago
