I was pregnant with triplets — and too big to fit in my car

It’s a labor of love.

A mom of six, who gave birth to triplets in October 2022, has revealed some of the unknown quirks of carrying three baby girls at once.

Monetress, who posts on social media under the username @tripletsmamaplus3, regularly shares videos detailing her hectic life. Several of her videos also highlighted her recent pregnancy.

One side effect of her bursting belly — among others — was not being able to fit in the driver’s seat of her car.

In one clip filmed at 33 weeks and posted to TikTok, the mom measured the fundal height — the distance between the top of the uterus and pubic bone — which reached 20 inches, while her abdominal circumference was 51 inches.

“My baby girls arrived exactly 6 days later,” she added in the caption of the video, which has been viewed over a million times.

“My heart is so full and my family of eight is complete,” she gushed in an Instagram post after the girls were born. “The series of events leading up to their arrivals was nothing short of amazing and miraculous! I am so blessed and humbled by this entire experience.”

Although the busy mom added there were some upsides to having a stomach as long as it is wide.

In one clip, that’s been viewed over 150,000 times, the mom showed off a bonus to having a baby bump — she’s able to use it as a table for her food.

“Putting my belly bump shelf to good use,” she joked in the clip.

Since the birth of  Yuri, Bellamy and Ciri, the busy mom has shared her postpartum journey, adjusting to being a mom of six and getting back into fitness.

“It can be very challenging trying to fit in time for myself, but I had to take a step back and learn how to prioritize my time and plan my day for things that are important to me,” she wrote in a recent clip.

Monetress isn’t the only mom carrying triplets who’s struggled with her baby bump. In early July, a mom of triplets and twins went viral after sharing her “straight out” bump.

Taking to TikTok, the mom shared a clip of her massive cylindrical belly, with almost 2 million views — leaving some users  “traumatized” and vowing never to have kids after seeing the unusual bump shape.
