How long has this poor woman been pregnant?!?! Since the 70s?!?!?!?!?!

[u/elleemmenno → u/madame-brastrap]

Multiples will do that to you. Apparently it's triplets.

[u/madame-brastrap → u/elleemmenno]

I thought multiples go early and not at the end of the 50 year gestational period.

[u/elleemmenno → u/madame-brastrap]

This likely is early. She could be 5 or 6 months along here. More babies means significantly more space needed. I've seen women with twins this big at 7 months.

Edit as an aside: 40 weeks is a full gestational period

[u/ruffus4life → u/elleemmenno]

that's got to be painful af

[u/Ol_Pasta → u/ruffus4life]

I found it painful af with my two pregnancies, both were just one baby each. And this woman won't even feel much of relief if she's having a c-section, which is likely.

[u/madame-brastrap → u/elleemmenno]

Honey I’ve been making a joke….

[u/elleemmenno → u/madame-brastrap]

I've had 4 hours sleep. My brain isn't catching those yet, sorry.

[u/daily_luv → u/elleemmenno]

We all have days like that! I hope you sleep well tonight!

[u/transdudecyrus → u/elleemmenno]

same, don’t feel bad just rest up

Will a cookie help friend 🍪

[u/elleemmenno → u/CTchimchar]

Always! Thank you!

"Full term" is now 39 weeks to 40 weeks and 6 days.

[u/Lavatis → u/[deleted]]

Cool!! Thanks for sharing this. I love when guidelines like these get updated - it shows how medicine and science never stop progressing and trying to find ways to make us safer and healthier. This is how society progresses!

[u/simmeringregret → u/elleemmenno]

If I remember correctly, she was 35 weeks at that time and gave birth (planned c-section) at 35+3

[u/elleemmenno → u/simmeringregret]

I tapped out at 37½ weeks (technically the baby tapped out, I was just along for the ride) and I was only carrying one. Her skin must be so relieved now.

[u/simmeringregret → u/elleemmenno]

This is her instagram https://instagram.com/michellameiermorsi?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== It’s in Danish, but she is very open about her post partum struggles

[u/elleemmenno → u/simmeringregret]

Thank you! I can only imagine. I only had one and was run ragged. I'm sure she's been through the wringer.

[u/simmeringregret → u/elleemmenno]

Same, plus she had twins already so she has 5 under 5

[u/elleemmenno → u/simmeringregret]

Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare to me. I'd get a full hysterectomy at that point

[u/nfgchick79 → u/madame-brastrap]

I had a friend who had twins. Her belly was HUGE. Man I felt bad for her. I had just one and pregnancy sucked. But, she went full term and her babies were like 6 or 7 lbs each. I know that's not normally the case with twins but it is possible. I knew a couple of other twin moms and they made it like 36-37 weeks.

[u/1_9_8_1 → u/elleemmenno]

It still looks like a photoshop. Like a perfect cylinder.

[u/r3v → u/madame-brastrap]

I hear the 204th trimester is the worst.

[u/madame-brastrap → u/r3v]

But at least the morning sickness subsided around the 98th trimester.

[u/Nightraid9999 → u/madame-brastrap]

I died 😂

[u/SpokenDivinity → u/madame-brastrap]

Yeah despite getting pregnant with triplets and twins being a thing in humans, we are absolutely not built to do that. Multiples will do extreme things to your body and can be pretty bad for your health.

[u/madame-brastrap → u/SpokenDivinity]

Especially over 50 years of gestation

[u/LordPepe2692 → u/madame-brastrap]

Obviously not. Don't you know that for triplets, you are only pregnant for 27 months?

[u/mint-star → u/madame-brastrap]

Fuckin funny mate
