I'm 8 weeks pregnant with triplets and I'm worried about the whole pregnancy even now, how can I overcome these fears?

I'm just quite worried as I'm only 20 and somehow managed to get pregnant with triplets :(

Well, you're going to need a triplet stroller! I recommend a jogging stroller, because the wheels make things so much easier. Anyway...

You're going to have to set realistic expectations for yourself. You're only 8 weeks, but you will be showing a lot faster than someone with 1 baby. You might get a lot more tired than the average pregnant woman, because you're growing 3 humans. Make sure you stay on top of your prenatals, eat red meat so that you don't become so anemic.

Start buying diapers NOW. Not kidding, build your supply early, becaue they are expensive. Same thing goes with formula. Babies grow very fast, so don't just buy newborn clothing, buy 3months and 6month for the season they will be born. You most likely won't make it to 40weeks and your babies could range in size. Most likely they will be premature, so prepare for that as well.

You two, and your families are going to have your hands full, but don't be scared. A good routine can really save you so much hassle. Babies are hilarious, they do the weirdest things. Their smiles are warm, and newborns are completely docile.

See if there is anyone you can talk to that has gone through pregnancy and giving birth before, especially if you can find someone that has had twins or triplets before. They may be able to give ypu some tips. Also make sure that you plan ahead of time for how you want to do certain things, including how you want to deliver them and how you want to manage caring for all three once they are born. Never doubt that you can do it. You have lots of time to plan and prepare. Get your family and friends involved early, because you'll definitely need to lean on them from time to time for support. Remember, it's normal to be scared and nervous, especially since it's something you haven't gone through before, and now that it's three babies rather than one. You can do it :)

Triplets? Oh shit, of course you should be scared! Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying! Plus you're 20, which means the dad is probably a complete loser. Yeah, I'm not helping so I'm going to stop talking now.

The dad is a great older mature guy so I have no problem with that.

Riiiiiiiiiiight

Voluntary pregnancy or not?
Well, after this you'll never have to be pregnant again.

[Asker]

Yeah I did want a baby but never thought it will be triplets

[jacquesvol]

Shit happens.
But obgyns can manage it. The problems may come if you have to care for three babies at once.

Wow! Congratulations X3!!! I'd be scared too. Anybody would be but it's been done many times before. Turn to family for help and support
