“Dreaming of a Daughter: This Couple’s Shocking Surprise Takes Their Family Plans in an Unexpected Direction!”
Baby ‘B’ Wasn’t Growing As Quickly In The Womb
Throughout her pregnancy, Angie and her medical team were diligent about monitoring the babies daily. During a routine ultrasound they discovered that baby ‘B’ was smaller than baby ‘A’ and baby ‘C.’
While this isn’t unusual considering baby ‘B’ and baby ‘C’ were sharing the same placenta, it was still something the team would need to continue to monitor.
Aiming For 34 Weeks
While Angie was confined to the hospital, she and her medical team had one goal in mind: to make it to 34 weeks. If she could make it to 34 weeks without going into labor, the triplets would have a good amount of time to develop in the womb.
If the triplets were in the womb for less than 34 weeks, they had a greater chance of complications due to being underdeveloped.
Taking It Day By Day
With Angie now more than 30 weeks along in her pregnancy, all she could do was take it day by day. While she and Gino were eager to meet their newest additions, the longer the triplets stayed in the womb, the more time they would have to develop. Still, anything was possible at this point.
“Anything could happen between now and my due date,” she said in an interview with Sharp Healthcare. “We could have contractions that can’t control. We may do an emergency C-section. For us, we don’t count the weeks here, we count the days.”
