Lying in bed for days

SanneGuest ·
Hi, I'm Sanne. I'll give you a quick intro. So I'm Sanne and I'm currently pregnant with quadruplets. And don't think "that's impossible" or anything. The doctor figured it out quickly, so I'm getting good care I read online that you give birth with quadruplets at 31 weeks. The doctor chose a normal delivery for me because everything is going well. I'm now 28 weeks pregnant and lying in bed for days; I can't even walk for more than 10 minutes. Being pregnant with multiples also gave me earlier contractions, etc.

So my questions are actually:

At what week do you give birth with quadruplets?
What can I do about lying in bed for days???

Thanks

    Wow, a quadruplet! Congratulations! You'll probably have a lot of check-ups with a quadruplet, so you'll be going to the midwife or gynecologist often. I assume they'll tell you which week you'll deliver in with a quadruplet and what helps with any fatigue. Of course, you'll need to rest a lot in the last few weeks, because having four lives in your belly sounds pretty heavy, haha.

    I'm also looking for someone who can help me out in the last few weeks.

    No one has the same experience or answer to the questions.

    Yeah, a quadruplet is pretty rare and doesn't happen that often. But again, your midwife can answer all your questions for you, and with a quadruplet, you'll probably get some help too, right?

    Yes, I'm getting help too. I went to the doctor today and she said I should just take it easy and that 31 weeks is too early, so they need to stay in the hospital for now, but at 35 weeks it's fine, so 5 more weeks.

    Hi everyone!
    I just wanted to let you all know. I was actually due around today, but I ended up giving birth a bit earlier to my four little miracles They’re exactly one week old now, and there are 3 girls and 1 boy. Their names are: Hananja, Lola, Tessa & Thomas.

    Best,
    Sanne

    So you're under the care of the OB-GYN, right?
    Sounds super intense.
    You're going to be incredibly busy.
    It's really special, but it seems really hard to
    build a bond with each baby individually.
    Well, it's exciting!
    And enjoy your downtime while you still can.

    Yes, I'm still under the care of the gynecologist. Yes, it's tough but it's worth it. I don't know whether pregnancy, childbirth, or raising a child is the hardest right now
