So my wife and I are having triplets and we find out the sexes today hopefully. We will be first time parents and was curious if anyone here had any experience with having triplets and had sound advice.
Btw my wife already says their first words with be Mahomie :-) [Reply]
Apparently triplets can be some combo of identical and fraternal. So your possible combinations (assuming no hermaphrodites) are:
3 identical boys
2 identical boys and 1 girl
2 fraternal boys and 1 girl
3 fraternal boys
3 fraternal girls
1 boy and 2 fraternal girls
1 boy and 2 identical girls
3 identical girls

First:
Congratulations
Second: My twins turned five in mid-October (they were born during game 5 of the 2015 ALDS). Here are some tips I will share:
1) For at LEAST the first few weeks you have them home, you’re going to need a third person there to help. Mother, father, sister, best friend, something... And you’re going to alternate nights that you/your spouse/your third party get a full night off to sleep. If you and your wife try to do it all yourselves you’ll get no night time sleep and it will fuck you up.
2) Get a baby Brezza or something similar. This is like a Keurig for formula. You’re going to need it.
3) mentally prepare for never considering anyone else’s baby experience challenging. It gets annoying in a hurry listening to people who have never had more than one baby at a time whine about how hard it was.
4) if you’re doing daycare, get on it ASAP. Finding child care for multiples is fucking hard.
5) safety proof the shit out of your house. My wife was measuring 48 cm at 37 weeks with twins (and that’s the equivalent of a 48-week pregnancy) and couldn’t get around. Get one of those grabber contraptions. She’ll need it.
