The expectant mother burst into tears when she found out that she would not have one baby.
Maria is Norwegian, her husband Anders is Danish. They live in Copenhagen, have a two-year-old son and are no different from other happy families. More precisely, they did not differ until Maria became pregnant again. On May 9 of this year, she went for an ultrasound scan at the 13th week of pregnancy, and it was then that it was discovered that the replenishment in their family would be very large-scale. Three children will be added at once.
Hearing the news of the triplets, Maria burst into tears. She’s pretty small and fragile, how can she handle such a load? Here, in the fourth month, the belly, like some in the middle of the term … In search of moral support, Maria started a blog on Instagram, where she shared her fears and joys, hopes and difficulties with her subscribers. Of the latter, it was mostly huge – but what is there, gigantic! – belly.

In the seventh month of pregnancy, Mary’s belly weighed about 20 kilograms. Subscribers were surprised at how she still manages to walk and do household chores. But despite everything, Maria remained optimistic. She and her husband joke that now they will have to change the car for a minibus for the whole family. And a woman is also very worried about how she can simultaneously care for three newborns and raise a two-year-old boy. However, her loyal subscribers support her: “Everything will be fine”, “You are wonderful”, “A real woman.”
Of course it’s real. Who else could withstand the kicks in the stomach from three pairs of small legs at once! It even hurts to look at it.
Doctors warned the woman that the babies will be born a little ahead of time – this is normal for multiple pregnancies. What actually happened.
On September 13, 36-year-old Maria gave birth to two girls and a boy at an early date. She did not leave the kids for a second to watch them. After all, children were born with a lack of weight.
“We love our miniature children so much. They have such cute little faces! We feed and swaddle them every three hours. They get most of their milk through special tubes. Despite the fact that they are only 7 days old, they have already begun to show their character – everyone has their own, ”the woman wrote on her Instagram.
Now the babies are over three weeks old. She and her mother came home and feel great.

Doctor’s comment
“The likelihood of getting pregnant with triplets is transmitted through the maternal line,” says gynecologist Larisa Ivanova. – For example, if a mother and grandmother had several children, then you need to be ready for two or three babies. Most often, multiple pregnancies are observed in women after 30 years. Of course, at the same time, the load on the body is colossal. It is necessary to see a doctor every week, because the risk of complications increases: developmental anomaly or hypoxia (cessation of oxygen supply. – Author’s note) of one of the fetuses, anemia, premature birth, sudden bleeding. The weight of the expectant mother is noticeably increasing, there is a strong load on the spine and pressure on the internal organs. Due to the displacement of the diaphragm, the functionality of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is impaired, that is, shortness of breath occurs. The pressure on the uterus increases, which provokes heartburn and indigestion, etc. Also, the legs swell, which can be the cause of varicose veins. Therefore, a woman is categorically forbidden to lift weights and engage in any household chores. She should take folic acid, eat healthy foods fortified with protein and iron, and drink water.
