Coming to terms with it - Week 7

So many questions went through both of our heads, can we do it? how will we cope? will they all survive? and the list went on. We had been told that miscarriage of triplets is high and it is quite common to fall pregnant with them and then lose one or two. At the start I thought I could cope with losing one or two least I would still have one, but it didnt take long to become attatched to all three of my babies and from that point on i knew that i would be devastated if anything would happen.

By now my morning sickness was taking over vomiting was a daily thing especially mornings and in the evenings. Work was becoming hard with the constant nausea and I had only told my assistant Tamika and my boss the news that I was pregnant with Triplets. So i kept going putting on a brave face and dealing with it.

Later in the week I was informed my Oma (grandma) had taken ill and was put in hospital given that day to live. As she is in NZ with all my family I decided that I might be heading back to NZ sooner than I thought. She lasted another 5 days before passing in her sleep. I was on the next flight to NZ, I was lucky that my older sister Alanah had come to Perth so we were able to fly back together. As my morning sickness was in full force I knew the flight wasnt gonna be fun! I vomited twice before getting into the car and thought hopefully im done. Waiting in the lines to check in I said to Lana watch my bags I need to go, vomited once again and then just getting through customs another visit to the bathroom. At that point I knew i was in for a fun day! After the flight arriving into Dunedin I had very mixed emotions was glad to see my family but wasnt the best situation.

Pregnancy Symptoms - Morning sickness, extreme vomiting and nausea, back pain and several trips to the toilet during the night.
