Hoping 4 B
We are 18 weeks pregnant today with triplets and are seeing Dawkins who has now refered us to QMH where we'll deliver. Dawkins did the U/S nuchal fold at 12 weeks which was negative for any problems.
At 17 weeks he did a fairly up close and personal scan of the babies lower spines, pelvic areas, facial structures to see if he could foresee any other problems. Again, everything negative along with normal growth, heartbeats, heart chambers etc.
Other than the normal preg tests for a singleton (like baseline blood tests etc.) there is not much more we expect to do, except for a very in-depth u/s in about 1 - 2 weeks where the QMH drs will measure every little piece of our babies. We are not doing the amniocentis test since it is too high risk for us.
There is an EXCELLENT book entitled, "What to expect when you're expecting twins, triplets or quads." You probably won't find it in HK. A friend of ours mailed us a copy a few months ago and I picked up a 2nd copy through Amazon while on a US business trip a few weeks ago. I highly recommend ordering this book. If you want to borrow one of our copies while waiting for yours to arrive drop me an e-mail or private message.
