Although being stressful and challenging, having a child is one of the most significant and powerful experiences a woman may ever have. Although not wanting to become a mother is perfectly acceptable, giving birth is undoubtedly a momentous event. After nine excruciatingly long months characterized by illness and mood swings, it takes some getting used to the expanding belly and changing body form. The bundle that had been inside of us for all those months emerges and becomes a part of our lives, but the crucial time of giving birth comes with pampering and rest.
Although becoming a parent can certainly sᴄᴀʀᴇ you, the exact moment you hold your newborn child in your arms, you will see that the ғᴇᴀʀs will disappear in an instant. One woman, who is on TikTok, garnered over two million views on a video that debuted her baby ʙᴜᴍᴘ. Trista, who recently gave birth to triplets, began with an sᴏɴᴏɢʀᴀᴍ showing three heartbeats: “Finding out I’m having triplets, not knowing how big I’ll get.”
The next frame was a photo of her at ten weeks pregnant, in which each baby was supposedly the size of a prune. Her ʙᴜᴍᴘ had already popped—there was no way of hiding the pregnancy by then.
At twelve weeks, when the babies were supposed to be the size of a plum, she was even larger. sounding a bit more frightened with each passing week. At 24 weeks, the three cantaloupe-sized babies made Trista grow even more. At 29 weeks, three ᴀᴄᴏʀɴ-sǫᴜᴀsʜ-sɪᴢᴇᴅ bodies were swimming inside her ᴍᴀssɪᴠᴇ sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ.
Trista’s final images showed her with only two weeks left till her scheduled ᴄ-sᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ, which ultimately occurred a little over 33 weeks in. Her belly was enormous. The videos received over 1,000 comments, with most people asking follow-up questions that Trista then answered in additional clips.
According to another one of her videos, the babies—all girls—each weighed less than 5 pounds. One weighed four pounds 13 ounces. The second and smallest weighed three pounds eight ounces. And the third was three pounds 14 ounces.
