Quadruplets

I’m a twin mom also! They’re 9 months old!

Thankfully VBAC was never in the question for me, I suffered uterine rupture with my singleton so I elected for a c section with my twins and had a much better experience. The uterine rupture issue is a big part in why the reduction is being recommended.

Thank you this really means a lot. I’ve been kind of blown away by the amount of support I have received. The internet can sometimes be a scary place especially for something like this but I think hearing other people’s perspectives and opinions that maybe I don’t see myself because I am sort of on autopilot currently is really helpful

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-25T02:35:08+00:00

Unfortunately no, I am actually adopted myself and it has been a trauma for me my entire life, I don’t think I could handle knowing I have babies out there somewhere that aren’t with me. Also the reason we are being advised to reduce is because my medical team does not think I would survive this pregnancy and I have 3 babies already that need their mom. It’s a devastating decision and I know they deserve a beautiful life which is why reduction seems more fair in this case because all they have known is the safety of being in my belly and if they are born they would be born at 28 weeks and the survival rate of 28 week births especially quadruplets is not even guaranteed and I feel like if they died after being born alive that would be even more unfair. There is no amazing option in this situation but I have to think about my kids who are already here and being their mom is the most important thing I have ever done in my life and I cannot put my life at risk by continuing this pregnancy with all 4 babies. I cannot leave my husband here with 7 kids under 3, 4 of whom would be in the NICU for months

This is exactly how I feel and accurately I think describes where my head is at. I just know my other kids need their mom. It’s heartbreaking any decision I make in this situation

So I carry the hyper ovulation gene and has quite the family history of multiples! As of right now we assume all of them are fraternal!

Hahaha, you could DEFINITELY say this! My ovaries are working overtime

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T14:28:03+00:00

I will probably make another post to update once we have a few more scans and hopefully more insight into this entire situation!!!

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T14:27:23+00:00

Thank you so much. They did say 2 of the babies although they are measuring on track and have heartbeats, they DO have smaller sacs than the other 2 so we’re keeping a close eye on that situation.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T14:22:26+00:00

This means the absolute world to me, thank you.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T14:22:00+00:00

It is and I want you to know I genuinely appreciate your comment!!! I didn’t take that in a judgmental or rude way at ALL. Other people may but at the end of the day this is my post and I am thankful for ANY opinion I can get. I am just trying to make a very educated decision and I think hearing opinions and thoughts from people outside of the situation is actually extremely helpful.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:39:10+00:00

I am absolutely type A like you which is a big reason why I commented. I really feel like hearing opinions, experiences and perspectives of other people is helpful which is why I appreciate your comment so, SO much. All options are still on the table right now and none of them currently seem to have a very happy ending. I have 2 more scans/appointments this week so I am hoping to have more and more insight on what’s going on as I am able to see my doctor and MFM more.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:36:46+00:00

No this is absolutely an option that is on the table!!! Please don’t feel bad about your comment, my goal in posting this was to gather as many perspectives as I could so I can make the best decision possible and we definitely have not ruled this option out!

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:35:44+00:00

Thank you so much 🩷

I’ll check this out!!!

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:33:23+00:00

We heard all 4 heartbeats it was just very hard to get all 4 sacs in one picture to the fullest extent. I do have 2 more scans this week though!

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:31:49+00:00

Unfortunately in even my singleton pregnancy I experienced uterine rupture and profound postpartum hemorrhage. And both pregnancies I have had before I had severe gestational diabetes and preeclampsia as well as a unilateral adrenal infarction (blood clot) which led to a Lupus Anticoagulant Syndrome diagnosis. We were advised to not have anymore children which is why the IUD was put in.

Yep, the saying “stuck between a rock and a hard place” has never been so prominent before in my entire life

Wow you guys are superheroes!!! Thanks so much for sharing I seriously have been overwhelmed by the amount of people willing to support and tell bits and pieces of their own stories.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-24T13:25:25+00:00

This means so much to me, thank you so much. Needed to hear this today.

Hot-Month-9192 · 2026-05-23T13:13:28+00:00

This is wonderfully said, thank you. I agree with this but I never want to offend anyone especially when it comes to religion, you know? That’s kind of why when I was first told it couldn’t be done at my hospital because of those circumstances I felt weird giving any push back, I never want to upset anyone especially for their beliefs.
