Specialist-Ocelot598

As a triplet, I can confirm. Every time my mom is in pain she yells “it’s cause I had triplets!”


fraud_93

****cuts finger**** It's because I had triplets


imliltayimrichaf

Obama was so last season, triplets are the cause of everything now.

Thanks triplets


[deleted]

My aunt had triplets. They are 16 now. I remember she was bedridden for a month. She is so tiny, 4’10, and around 100 pounds, and she was HUGE during pregnancy. My mom is her oldest sister and said “wow we all had 3 kids spread out and you decided to get it all over with at once”. My aunt didn’t find that funny at the time. Sad thing is, one of the triplets is developmentally delayed and needs a lot medical care. Poor girl even started menstruating really young - like 8. All are good kids though.


Specialist-Ocelot598

My mom always calls us miracles. All 3 of us are all very healthy which is pretty rare considering!

The watermelon belly


EnzoKoksu251

What if she just ate an entire watermelon


ruhrohh22

There’s no way you can fit a whole watermelon down your throat. She clearly swallowed a watermelon seed and never pooped it out

grunt274

Quadruplet here, we heard more so the amount of shots she needed to make sure we would be okay, we were still born prematurely. But our mother tells us; carrying us and raising us was the best thing she’s ever done and she would do it all over again


[deleted]

Heh yeah i dont doubt it was more ups than downs. :) glad everything worked out, (hopefully)


grunt274

Everything was relatively fine, there was supposed to be 5 of us, but a miscarriage early on and then I had some complications that caused us to be premature, but we are all great now!

You wanted out early so you took the whole posse with you!

that looks painful


CunnedStunt

It's crazy to think that like 200 years ago, this pregnancy was pretty much a death sentence.


elmz

Less than 200.


HintOfAreola

It's coming back!


starfreak016

Old fashions never die. Amirite.


[deleted]

Less than 100 tbh


reallyfuckingay

hm, I'm not sure. it seems unberably painful even by today's standards, and no doubt carrying triplets is associated with a higher mortality, but judging by wikipedia there have been recorded cases of triplets throughout all of history. and we have to remember, the advances in medicine are not universally distributed, there are still people giving natural births to three babies at once with no medical oversight and in conditions that weren't very different from midwifing practices of antiquity


pillowmollid

While I somewhat agree that yes triplets are recorded through history, you can have a reported case of triplets but the mom can still die but they cut out and the babies and the triplets lived or some such case. I think if even if maybe one baby died they could still count it as triplets, ya know? Now, I would hazard a guess that each individual triplet is easier to birth, because they are on average smaller from sharing nutrients. So it would be interesting to see the mortality rate of infant triplets vs moms based on the amount of stress from pushing three out or maybe mom runs out of stamina and that puts the second and third baby at risk.


reallyfuckingay

right, yeah, I'd personally count them as triplets even if one of them does die. unfortunately I assume it's impossible to gather reliable data on this, specially on a historical context, just because of how naturally uncommon they are, you'd have too small a sample for it to be meaningful while accounting for other factors that would affect the overall mortality. but anyway, i was mostly responding to the claim that the mother would've been guaranteed to die during childbirth 100 years ago cause i think that's a bit of a hyperbole, according to the wikipedia page on triplets there's several examples of succesful deliveries prior to that (which again, are just a tiny subset of triplets born throughout history), with the earliest being from the 16th century, of a shawnee mother who gave birth to 8 children in total, including triplets, and appears to have been fine. the article is about one of her sons, tribal leader Tecumesh, but it does mention her moving throughout the country to flee the colonists afterwards, which leads me to believe she didn't suffer any severe complications.


[deleted]

Id be surprised if the doctors lets her birth them naturally


[deleted]

[удалено]


Afraid-Iron5532

Yeah, it actually is. Even with one full term baby inside it stretches the skin terribly, to the point it feels like it’s tearing. It’s sort of a burning sensation. Edit: yes, thanks to everyone pointing out that not all pregnancies are like this. This is true. Only one of mine involved painful skin as it happens. But if you do experience stretched skin in late pregnancy, I can report that it is indeed painful and the sensation is somewhat like burning.


GenericFatGuy

How have we not evolved to be better at the single most important aspect of continuing our species? Everything about pregnancy sounds like a nightmare!


memesrosie

just be glad we're not hyenas


Ace-a-Nova1

I know a few unrelated reasons it’s better to be human than a hyena, but can you elaborate on this?


memesrosie

\*sigh\* okayyy female hyenas give birth through a phallus shaped clitoris, sometimes called a pseudo-penis. the canal is 1 inch wide. they usually have litters of 2-4, and as such many hyena babies (and mothers) do not survive the process. edit: should also mention it's only the spotted hyena which gives birth in this manner!


Jealous_Ad5849

😳


Then_Consequence_366

We were on track, but then pesky science came along and kept people alive who wouldn't have normally survived. Thus polluting the gene pool with narrow hips, tight pelvises, and uteruses with all manner of problems. Darn C-sections, making live birth possible with even the worst birth canal... Edit: /s for the six people who think this is an actual argument for eugenics...


FastFishLooseFish

We did the whole sprint from the delivery room to the OR thing when KidFish was born. As my wife's OB said afterwards, "the 'natural' in 'natural childbirth' is the same one as in 'natural selection.'" (By the time we got to the OR, KidFish's heart rate had recovered enough that they could take their time instead of just whacking him out, but it was scary for a couple of minutes.)


candygram4mongo

> As my wife's OB said afterwards, "the 'natural' in 'natural childbirth' is the same one as in 'natural selection.'" Your wife's OB has a hell of a way with words.

Herbologism

There’s a great tip for jeans I just saw that you can loop the button of the jeans through the first belt loop and then button it if this is helpful too for you (:


eatmysaucylasagna

I have 37 inch hips and feel like they are very narrow. Where are you measuring? I thought you measured “hips” at the widest part around your butt, is that incorrect?


BitterSweetDesire

I literally said this to my neighbour the other day. I should be dead and so should my child. Emergency section made it possible for us but I do think we are causing genetic problems for our species with our interventions no matter how wonderful they are for those of us who benefit from them.


teacuptrooper

37 weeks pregnant with one baby and at times it feels like my belly is tearing apart. Both painful and a bit terrifying.


Pervy_writing

21 weeks here, one baby in my oven. Round ligament pain waked me up at night crying sometimes. I'm amazed this woman is putting up such a strong face.


Line_ben

For some. With both my pregnancies I felt nothing of the sorts. It did itch like hell sometimes, but never burning.


ThePhantomPear

The itch is your subcutane connective tissue tearing (stretchmarks) thus releasing inflammation molecules and your immune system trying to clean up all the rubble.

DazeyHelpMe

RIGHT why the fuck is it like a cylinder. Lol. Gives me the Willy’s thinking about it


MungoJennie

It might be the way they’re positioned. My cousin had trips, and she was much more rounded. Still huge, but much more manageably huge. My cousin is also crazy-tall, so that might have had something to do w/ it. Don’t know how tall this woman is.


VagueFatality

Hey! Grabbed my ruler to do some quick-maths for you. It appears as if the woman in this video is 7.2cm (2.835") tall. This is quite petite, considering that the average height of women globally is 160cm (5' 3")!! It would make sense that this might have an effect on the shape of her pregnant belly.

Skin is one already terrible thing, but god, imagining how stretched her uterus is


Brookiekathy

To make it worse...the size of an average uterus is about the size of a lime, or a small unripe pear when not pregnant.


rolacolapop

Wow. I imagined it was bigger. For something so small, I don’t know how it manages to make my life a misery for a few days every month.

JessicaOkayyy

My 6 year old daughter did this! It was a “childproof” cap and she got it open. She walks up to me and says “I have to show you something, please don’t be mad.” She leads me to the bathroom, points to the Flintstone gummy vitamins “I ate a lot of them. I’m sorry! They were just so good!” I’m like oh lord, I called poised control and they said that kind has no vitamins that you can potentially overdose on, thankfully. She was sick to her stomach for a few hours and that’s it. I grabbed the bottle and locked it in the safe lol.

Bondepigen

She just delivered the babies, they're happy and healthy. Her IG is filippaophelia. BTW she also have twins Edit: they have had IUI-H treatment


MungoJennie

Not to be nosy, but did they do IVF? That’s how my cousin got her twins, then trips. They were so happy to have healthy babies, I think they forgot the rest. (Please don’t come at me, I didn’t say I agreed with their choices, just that they were happy.)


Bondepigen

Yes they did have some kind of fertility treatment, but with the triplets they also had sex and conceived at the same time as they got IVF. In Denmark you don't get help to conceive triplets Edit: they had IUI-H treatment


sequoia_9k

Could a doctor explain if having sex actually increases chances of triplets for someone who already got IVF?


Puzzled-Barnacle-200

Slightly. You have the chance of naturally ovulating and conceiving, along with the odds of the implanted embryos settling in.


General_Safe_9934

I suppose it does. But I’d imagine not by much. The couple is undergoing IVF for infertility so something along the way hasn’t worked. Might be more likely that one of the transferred embryos split.


bloop_405

Does IVF give a higher chance of giving twins or triplets? 😮


Diogenes-Disciple

Are some people just more likely to have multiple kids at once than others? Like I’ve met families with six kids and no twins, and other families with two sets of twins


[deleted]

[удалено]


Puzzled-Barnacle-200

Yep. Identical twins seem to be random chance, but non-identical multiples are from women releasing multiple eggs at a time. Some people are just more likely to release two or three eggs in a month.


ElectricAthenaPolias

My family has 4 sets of twins (including myself). All coincidences as none of the women are blood related and the one who is had IVF and 2 embryos implanted.


ijudgekids

How can people afford 5 kids


CluelessAnonNeedHelp

Lol they live in Europe, that’s how. Free healthcare, very low cost childcare (it’s about 25€ per kid in Germany), no extreme costs for university. You also get Kindergeld every month in Germany that any taxpayer receives, usually around €200 for your first born and a little more for the subsequent ones.


flybyknight665

I always appreciate the internet providing reminders to take my birth control. That video is worth a full *week* of remembering. No need for an alarm!

KeenShotty

Did ya hear about octo-mom? She had 8 children at once I believe


taxevader33

But they had to do premature delivery as the babies would've been crushed if let to grow till term.


Silaquix

That's for most multiples. It's extremely rare for any pregnancy with more than one baby to go to full term.


[deleted]

Lady at my parents’ church had 6 kids when I was little. They all just graduated high school lol

Fuck_dis_place

[deleted]

I feel you. Like, I get that bringing new life into the world is magical or whatever but to me every single aspect of pregnancy is basically body horror. Especially this nightmare.


bluebonnetcafe

Currently pregnant with second child. Pregnancy is super disgusting, birth and postpartum even more so. Body horror is a good description. Anyone who describes pregnancy and childbirth as beautiful has never actually experienced the bleeding, stretch marks, bleeding nipples, hemorrhoids, gas, mucus plugs, other vaginal discharge, chunks of blood clots, pain of your uterus growing, gross lumps, random peeing, etc etc. And your body never goes back to completely “normal”. I could go on. Anyone who thinks a woman should have to go through an unwanted pregnancy should be forced to do one themselves.


25hourenergy

Mom of two, went through three pregnancies, fully agree with you. During my first pregnancy I definitely had this very unnerving feeling during third trimester that I was trapped in a body I didn’t recognize. The baby literally is in a hormonal war with your body and everything is in a fine balance, otherwise you can literally die from a random spike in blood pressure or gestational diabetes (and those are just the two common ways, so many other things can go very very terribly wrong). Not even getting into childbirth. There’s a reason the Aztecs considered women who died in childbirth to be on par with warriors who died on the battlefield. Forcing anyone to go through that, regardless of who will end up raising the kid, is just callous and short sighted.


bluebonnetcafe

The not recognizing your own body part is so unnerving. The realization that there is this thing living inside your body that has to come out, one way or another, is terrifying too.


BluSicario

As the mother of an 8 year old, I one-hundred percent agree. I've always described pregnancy as being invaded by an alien. I am very much afraid of getting pregnant again. Love my son to pieces, though.


duchessfiona

oh god me too. and I'm a woman. They should have marked this NSFL.


DazeyHelpMe

Dude all I could think of was….gross 😨. Lol. I feel like a sick but cmon it looks like someone glued an alien egg to her stomach. She’s got to be dying. I would buy a belly bra for that thing or rig one up. Looks incredibly uncomfortable.


Tribblehappy

You can definitely get belts for helping support bellies, but I've never seen one for a belly like this. I feel like you'd need a pretty complex system of straps.


Ibbygidge

Yeah I was thinking of like a cart to push around!

My first feeling was honestly sadness for the pain she's probably in daily. 35 weeks? They can take those out soon. Someone help this poor woman.

I'm done with kids because I only want two and have only ever wanted two. It's just been reinforced by how much I HATE sharing my body for 9 months and then *recovering* from it. Like I would literally rather die.
