WOW!  You are huge for 18 weeks!  I wasn't measuring that big at 31 weeks when I had my girls.  And you need to think long and hard about a home birth.  If you are that big now, the likelihood that you will make it to 36 weeks is slim.  I can't believe a dr would even talk about a home birth at this point.  Are you no seeing a peri?  You need one.  My Dr would not even speak of a vaginal birth until I got to 35 weeks, and like most triplet moms I did not get anywhere near it.

I don't have any pics on my computer of my belly pic but I want to give you some input about a home birth. Now, having triplets is considere high risk and I think being high risk, you should be in a  hospital. I mean having a home birth is risky when you are having ONE baby, you are having THREE. I know I can't change your mind but I would totally recommend you go to a hospital. JMO

Same here, my dr said that if I made it to 37 weeks, I could have a vaginal birth. He & both knew I wouldn't make it that long so I agreed to a csection which was not a problem. And even if I made it to 40 weeks, I would NOT want a csection! lol
