Drooling in Dreamland: The Science Behind Sleep Salivation

women delivering triplets but she

Her incredible pregnant belly was seen around the world in a viral video, and now Maria Jorstad has given birth to the gorgeous little trio she was carrying. And she’s revealing what’s happening to her rather extraordinary tummy.

Little Iben, Agnes, and Filip were born a little over two weeks ago at 35 weeks, and were released from hospital yesterday. “We got to bring our babies home after nine days at the NICU!,” Maria wrote on her Instagram account, Triplets of Copenhagen. “We are on so-called ‘early home stay’, which means that we get visits from a nurse twice a week who weighs the babies and brings the supplies we need for tube feeding. And when the tubes are out, we are officially out as well.”⠀

A video of Maria’s stretched belly was seen by millions of people around the world, all in awe of the human body. Since her babies’ birth the 36-year-old has been sharing pictures of her belly deflating from its triplet size.

“Day 4 and it has been quite a ride body wise,” she commented. “The first two days I could barely stand up because of extreme pain in the c-section wound, but the nurses made me walk a bit anyway. If I didn’t, it would become even worse, they told me.  In addition to that it has been three days with my bowels constantly twisting and turning like snakes (you won’t believe the sight of it!), causing much pain. And to top it off my milk started coming in already yesterday, and has caused huge and very painful breast engorgement. My nurse actually asked if I have implants! The joke of the day.”

In her most recent belly pic, Maria says her one-week postpartum belly is quite heavy, as her uterus hasn’t yet shrunk back to size. “Because my belly was so stretched it takes longer than usual. I’m gonna get a belly band/support binder ASAP, because it’s quite annoying and the sagging makes my c-section scar hurts. I’m really impatient to get my body back!”
