Proudly mothers show how is it being pregnant with twins or triplets!!
A woman who was pregnant with triplets has got a load of attention online after sharing the progress of her shockingly large baby bump.
Michella Meier-Morsi, from Copenhagen, Denmark, documented her journey on Instagram by sharing images of her bump, which began growing ‘straight out’ rather than ‘up and down’.
The baby bump also turned purple and was covered in bruises in the weeks before the birth of her three babies.
Michella welcomed her triplets Charles, Theodore and Gabriel on January 15 via cesarean section. She was just over 35 weeks pregnant.
Michella is also mum to two daughters with her husband, Mark.
Three days before she gave birth, Michella shared her fears with her followers, saying that she did not ‘feel ready’ for the triplets.
‘I seriously do not feel ready for three babies,’ she wrote.
‘I naively thought that I would get ready at some point – that I would feel a joy that the pregnancy is coming to an end and that we should finally meet our trio.
‘But if it were not for the extreme pain, the triplets would have to stay in the stomach for a month or three more. It all just feels so overwhelming.’
Michella said she wanted to ‘curl up in a corner and sob over how unimaginable it all seemed.’
The night before the birth, Michella said she was ‘insanely scared.’
‘It feels so unreal to have three babies [coming] and it’s like my head can not handle it,’ she admitted. ‘I simply can not imagine it or them.’
‘Instead, it rolls around with ugly thoughts. Can I do it? Can they do it?
‘But luckily I know that the only thing that matters to me tomorrow is whether the boys are doing well.
‘And on that front, I can throw my arms up – because we did it! We have been holding on to them for over 35 weeks. And then we can not really do more than hope for the best.’
The mum welcomed her three sons and said the birth experience was one of the ‘wildest 36 hours’ of her life.
‘I’m in grotesque pain,’ she wrote in the aftermath. ‘And right now I can not see myself out of that nightmare.
‘Fortunately, it helps when lying with three adorable boys on your chest. Yep, I’ve already had the pleasure of having them all up at once – and it was completely magical.’
Despite the trauma, Michella said it was ‘worth it’ and that her heart was ‘bursting with happiness and love.’
‘There is emptiness in my stomach, but my heart and my arms have never been so full of love and happiness,’ she gushed.
‘The boys are absolutely amazing! That’s how easy it can be summed up. They are mild and mega cool and we are completely in love. It’s hardly any surprise that we are in the most wonderful baby bubble.’
In the days following, Michella shared on Instagram that while her stomach was significantly smaller, she was struggling with her postpartum body.
‘It is heavy and incredibly painful,’ she noted.
‘The caesarean section is not bothersome – unless I have to cough, sneeze or (God forbid) vomit.
‘But my intestines roll around in the big cavity, which is both uncomfortable and hurts.
‘My uterus lies right next to the skin and is super sensitive – the slightest touches hurt the curse.
‘And the last few days, the stomach has felt like a big black mark It even hurts to breathe.’
Meanwhile, doctors discovered blood had built up in her uterus which her body ‘couldn’t get rid of.’ This increased the risk of inflammation so she was advised to undergo a scraping procedure which is type of surgery where doctors remove abnormal tissue from the body.
Following the birth, Michella was faced with the challenges of raising five small children.
‘Oh how I have cried and felt divided, tired, overwhelmed and giving up the last few days,’ she shared.
‘It is indescribably hard to have two three-year-olds and three premature babies. Much harder than I had imagined.
‘[My daughters] are angry, defiant, enormously bored, and simply unruly and rude.
‘They miss us and definitely feel let down to some degree. And it’s completely understandable.
‘So I sit split back between two sets of kids and two different needs. I want to go home to my girls, give them love and security and a fixed framework.
