Pregnant with triplets problems at 28 weeks

My daughter saw her pereiontoligist today and found out baby B is almost a pound smaller then A and C. A and C are both 2lb 10 oz and baby B  is 1lb 14 oz. But the bigger problem is the lack of blood flow baby B is getting. Baby C also is having some of those issues because there is just no room. They are giving her steroid shots to help the lungs develope and they think they will have to take them in the next 2 weeks. My daughter is also having some high blood pressure problems. I knew she would be early but we werent expecting this. Has anyone else had any problems like this?

I had my 1st set of twins at 34 weeks due to pre-term labor but I never had any blood pressure issues or blood supply issues either.  I am really sorry that your daughter is going through this.  It must be very difficult for her and the rest of the family.  I was in the hospital at 24 weeks for a few days they I came home on bed rest and by 27 weeks I was back in the hospital again were I stayed till I had my twins.  They were in the nicu for 6 days then they came home.  Now, they will be 11 at end of this month and are doing great.  My hubby and I have decided to add another set of twins to our family and they r due at the end of the month so I will be 25 weeks on Thursday and all is well so far.  I have to keep my fingers crossed that it stays this way.  I am sorry I could be more help but I wish your daughter the best of luck.  The babies will be fine.  They sound like they r at great weights so far.  Keep me posted on how she is doing.  Take care.

I had twins at 30 weeks.  I also had problems with high blood pressure.  My water broke on a Sunday because twin A was so crammed in there he kicked me and broke the sac.  Once my water broke, they gave me a steriod shot for their lungs and were able to stop the labor until Tuesday.  After spending 6 weeks in the nicu, they are happy and healthy 4 month old babies!  Although I didn't have problems with blood flow, it sounds like they are doing everything they can to make sure all three babies are going to do just fine.  How far along is she?  Wishing you luck....
