Hi Lauren! yes I was encouraged to reduce the pregnancy to a singleton...my cf doctors told me i would pass away if i continue the pregnancy with triplets and they made me an appt in New York with an specialist in reduction (I'm from Miami)but I had to do it when the babies were 12 weeks...I was immersed in a severe depression thinking I had to abort.. When I was 11 weeks i cancelled the appt..I couldn't do it...My whole family was upset ( or scared) my cf doctors called me talked to me they were very upset....it was the worst moment of my life!
I continue with my pregnancy and my docs told me that I didn't make the right decision but that they will help me all the way...which they did . I had to be hospitalized almost for 2 months but for controls only, I used O2 only the last week that I felt soo much pressure in my lungs. I also had to be in complete bed rest to prevent early delivery.
It's been 21 years I'm with my husband, we try many years to get pregnant with no results...when I was 32 years old I was Dx with cf so I stopped trying to concieve and started to try to adopt ...and I couldn't they would tell me my life expectency was short...so I went to a fertility doc and I tried 3 attemps with insemination and I got pregnant and lost it at 8 weeks...I did another insemination a year later and got pregnant with the triplets
It was very hard and scary what I've been through, it's a miracle the 4 of us are alive. The babies are doing very good growing too fast thanks god!
Lauren you are very welcome when ever you have a question!
