Between 1980 and 1998, the triplet and higher-order multiple birth rate in the US soared from 37 to about 194 births per 100 000—a rise associated with older maternal age and a spike in the use of fertility treatments.

I think of how it wraps its length around itself, serpentine and sure; how its waves rock back and forth, a cradle on an unsteady floor. on days like today, when the spring fog has melted into my bones, or when time seems to stop or slow, I think of my spine as that river and curl into myself like the letter “c.” breath floating downstream, body swaying like the currents of the sea.
