Wow! Congrats. Hope you're enjoying your big family!

Something I could never ask in person, but I can on an anonymous forum - if you're offended, I apologize, but I figure you can always just not respond. Did your doctors bring up/advocate for selective reduction? If so, how strongly?

No. I didn’t even find out until 15 weeks. My doc made a passing comment that other docs would have suggested it but honestly I clearly could handle triplets. My second kid was a 9 1/2 pound homebirth so triplets sucked but it was fine.

We went for the third and ended up with twins.

No regrets, but it has been crazy ever since.

Same here. Not sure how old you are, but I was 34 when I spontaneously conceived twins. They're more likely as you get older - rats fleeing a sinking ship and all that. Statistically still not common, but it's something to think about!

I was that 34 too and the first set of twins in both sides of the family for multiple generations! It was quite the shock

Funny enough, I was 34 when I got pregnant with the triplets. Lucky age?
