I know you don’t know me for squat. But I stumbled across your blog. I was going to not say anything and be on my way. but I feel I came across your blog for a reason.
I’m a mom of 4 year old triplets in the US. There is another site you might like to check out. http://www.tripletconnection.org
I don’t sugar coat. It is scary as hell and I did deliver early and have some complications. We were faced with reduction as well. It is an automatic conversation if you have more then twins.
It has been a strain on DH and I with the kids medical issues, but any marriage takes work. I hope I’m not making things harder for you by posting this. If so you have my sincerest apologies.
Best wishes for a postive outcome for you and your family what ever you decide.
Hi
I came across your site and read your blog with interest. I now have twin girls, and when had a difficult twin pregnancy, having been given a 50/50 chance of survival at 16weeks. Anyway, my story ended happily having had fantastic support from my Doctors, nurses, friends and family.
I know what it is like living on a knife edge, not knowing what each day will bring, so I didn’t really enjoy the pregnancy experience in the same way as our friends have. This has lead me to build my website http://www.goodpregnancyguide.com to help people find simple answers to their pregnancy questions. I hope you will add a link to my site on your blog.
Best of luck.
Sue
Would it be possible to ask you some questions on email, i am in a similar dilemma but hitting brick walls on advise from the medical profession with regards to selective reduction and how to get it.
