To catch you up to speed, you’ve talked to your doctor/health care provider about how many babies you’re expecting, whether or not they are sharing amniotic space and a placenta, and you should also have an idea of when to expect these babies. So, now let’s focus on mom!
Question #5: What do I need to eat/drink!?
Each baby heightens your recommended weight gain during your pregnancy. Don’t panic, it’s good for your babies! The amount of weight gained helps to develop and sustain your babies’ growth throughout the pregnancy. So find out what you should be eating and just as important…what you shouldn’t! The same holds true for the “what not to eats” during pregnancy no matter how many babies are in utero. And, talk to your health care provider about your water intake too. What you drink helps maintain not only your body’s needs, but it also helps supply your babies’ precious amniotic fluid. That may require more water than you think. You’re eating and drinking for at least 3 now so learn how to start making smart choices!
Now that you have knowledge of how many babies you’re expecting and whether or not they are sharing amniotic space and a placenta, you and your healthcare provider should have a better picture of what your technical due date is and a more realistic due date.
Question #4: Actual due date vs. realistic due date?
When you’re pregnant, regardless of the quantity on board, you will be given a 40 week due date. However, with multiples, it is more likely that the birth will come sooner than 40 weeks. This by no means is meant to imply that it’s next to impossible to reach a 40 week due date. There is a plethora of multiple mommies that have reached this long awaited date or come up just shy with big healthy babies. I’ve even heard of triplet moms who have delivered babies close to this goal. But, sometimes these earlier births take place due to complications. Other times, all could be healthy and normal but your uterus has reached its max size and all occupants are evicted. So, discuss a realistic time frame for babies’ birthday with your healthcare provider. You will want them cooking for as long as possible for optimum health so make it a point to discuss reaching your goal!
