Congratulations, congratulations, yes you've guessed it...congratulations again!!!
You have been given excellent advice already! Another one for your favourites: http://www.tripletsandus.com/triplets/links.htm
OK, not exactly the same but my friends sister had twins after having one and said it was easier, so maybe three will be easier again!?? And my friends husband is a twin and their mum had them at 50, after 4 grown up children and said they were easier??
So best of luck, don't panic too much, enjoy every last minute of it all!!:happyhear We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.

OMG!!
What did you say when they told you there was three heartbeats??
My advice to you would be to start buying nappies and baby wipes!! I mean stock up like mad, because you will need them!What the Deuce?0 -
just wanted to add my congrats as well :j
also, re the ikea cot, my little one has an ikea cot at her dads (cost about £30 and £15 for the mattress). it seems a lot sturdier than her one at home, which was more than 3 times the price!
also, make sure you join tesco clubcard baby club - with all those baby items to buy, you will amass quite a few points - can always save up clubcard points for a bigger car;)0 -
May I add my congratulations. Gosh what a shock for you both though. Sorry nothing to add to the advice, except to agree with the poster who said get as much sleep as you can now.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

Congratulations!
My neighbour had natural triplets last June. All boys, born at 32 weeks, and all doing very well now, and are a delight to see.
Her biggest problems were a suitable pram and a car that housed the pram and car seat so her 2 seater sports car was traded for something resembling a van!
As far as I know she joined TAMBA and the Health visitor has been fantastic, coming to the house regularly rather than her going to the clinic.
STock up on your sleep now!0 -
Oh my goodness!! Must've been a bit of a shock eh?? MEGA triple congrats to you and your missus :beer::beer::beer::beer:
Although you've had great advice already, I'd suggest enlisting help from family and friends with storage of items, if you do get freebies coming your way, then you're going to need somewhere to store spare nappies etc til you need tham, as I should think your flat is going to get pretty cramped very quickly!!
I'd also enlist them as potential babysitters as the pair of you will need a break at some point!!!;)
