How many did you say??

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I have been pre-occupied with school work and overloaded with morning sickness.
Anyway...June 9th. I had my first ultrasound appointment with Dr. A. To see how many embryos implanted.

That's right. TRIPLETS

Dr. A showed Laura, David (on skype) and I the screen, and we saw 3 little heart beats. 1 embryo had split (3% chance). So we have 2 identical's and a fraternal. I bet my face was a picture. Seeing Laura and Davids reaction was also the craziest thing I saw. They both had their hands on their cheeks and kept saying, "this is impossible".
I am still in shock to this moment, that I am as of now carrying triplets!! What an insane feeling.

After the ultrasound...
Dr. A and I sat in her office to discuss what was to happen next. She insisted that I get a reduction, because carrying 3 babies is extremely risky (especially identical twins). She referred me to a reduction specialist.

FYI: I know a lot of you may be confused about the entire reduction. This is a doctors order! Not only for my health, but so Laura and David can have at least 1 healthy baby. If I carry these babies as far as I can (typically 30 weeks). They are going to be extremely sick and in the nicu for a very long time. The couple have already been through having a baby at 25 weeks and they do not want to go through this again. So please only positive thoughts here. I am happy with whatever decision the doctors and parents choose.
This is the real surrogacy world. These things do happen (not occasionally), but they do happen. This blog is purely to inform people (and hopefully potential surrogates). It isn't to scare anyone away, but the things that we all must think about before going into the surrogacy world.
