Getting bigger... 15 weeks

I've been so lethargic lately that i can't bring myself to do anything except to eat, sleep and shit. in fact, that's what the doctor has advised me to do - no exercise, no working, just rest a lot. seems like a bunch of solid advice.

i've changed to a new and bigger hospital called Yongin Severance, which is much nearer to my house (15mins) compared to the previous (45mins), but that's not really the reason for changing. In terms of cost, the prev place was cheaper and the services offered were much better too. It was also focused on women and pregnant people. But this new hospital was a multi-purpose hospital built for everything and wasn't as niche as the previous. The main reason was because my prev doc said I had to move cos there won't be enough incubators should my babies come early T_T

The weird thing was the doc at the new hospital also said that since it's a newly-opened (since March 2020 lolol) hospital, incubators were not ready yet! And he advised me to not deliver before July if possible. But uh, how do i control this? The expected, healthy delivery date is actually September and i wouldn't like to deliver 2 months in advance as well... =_=

But anyway... some 'work-in-progress'....

I'm 15+ weeks into pregnancy and look at my growth. I don't know why but in the span of that 3 days between Mar 11 and Mar 14 my tummy just sorta ballooned. My babies are growing rather healthily at about 10cm each now.

I'm actually a little worried because when I search for how triplet tummies look like... I am shown things like this:

I take this ref because she looks like she's about the same size as me. doesn't it look like she has aliens breeding inside?! uhhh i'm not sure how i can even move around once i get to that size!! x_x from her insta it's about a 20kg lump.... O_O~~~

On to the brighter side... my scanning time is definitely getting longer and longer (more than 30mins at least). but on the bright note i get a lot of pictures. like about 15-20pieces per scan hahahaha. i think the brown pieces look like 4D scan as my sis said. this was done at my prev hospital and they were very meticulous and clear with all the printing.

The 3 babies altogether. I don't know how #R (rightside) sleeps because it's totally flipped and the nurse kept shaking my tummy so that it will turn for us to look XD The bottom #S (solo) looks like a penguin in the photo lolol. This is probably my last 4D and video ultrasound because those services are not offered in the new hospital T_T

Following that i had my new ultrasound in the new hospital. The process is similar but I am horrified to know that I would need to get that stick stuck in my vagina again to test the size of my cervix. I thought I was all over that sticking in thing T_T hated it so much!!! For some reason the nurses only printed 3 photos of my #L (leftside)... unfair. In the 2nd photo you can see its alien expression hahaha.

here i took the scans that shows all their faces. #S looks like it is waving hehe.

Previously #R was facing the complete opposite but this time we had a good view. It was stretching the legs and waving its hands. So cute see that little palm!!! All of them were pretty active during the scan actually. #S was rubbing the face, #R was bouncing and #L kept waving the hands. I am amazed each time I do my ultrasound. It's a great pity I am unable to have the video footage!!! All that precious movements!!! TwT

As for myself, I'm still experiencing nausea, headache and my belly feels taut. I keep needing to bend forward as if my skin has not been stretched enough to cover the larger bump, and sleeping with my legs propped or with my back lifted up is much more comfortable to reduce nausea and the tight feeling. I've been having acne outbreaks on my face, my back, the back of my neck, my upper chest area, and hairs growing all over my tummy. I look horrifying now. But I am comforted when nampyeon still hugs and kisses my forehead and cheeks as if I don't have all of those (god forbids his sighting of my acne). hehe. he helps me to put aloe vera on my back and on places i can't reach too. =lovelove= nampyeon support is really important since i don't have all my family and friends with me now. i just hope he would stay home longer because his presence is a kind of moral support eventhough we can't do a lot of things right now.

There's still 5.5 more months to go and I hope I can pull through this and get them all out safe and sound! In this period where COVID-19 is rampant... I wish the lucky god will protect my kids and let them see a peaceful world when they're out (",)
