Had an early scan today

I had some spotting sunday evening so the midwife got me in today for a scan. They first tried with a regular scan but only got a quick glimpse then it went fuzzy.So we ended up doing an internal scan. She found the baby right away along with a wonderful heartbeat! Then did a quick measurement and I'm right on 7 weeks. I asked her if there could be another one hiding and she said it is possible since I'm still real early. I go back in 4 weeks for another scan.

Has anyone heard of only seeing one this early then going back and having a surprise?? Be honest....just tell me NO. :laughing:

 

I have heard of it.. and my sister is 9 weeks Preg.. and they have only found one so far - she had her first scan last week. but shes barely fitting in any of her clothes. But theres twins on her side (us, obviously) and twins on her husbands side - his dad has a twin brother and sister. So it will be interesting to see. So when you think about theres identical and fraternal twins in the family..

 

I think we are about the same # of weeks. I think my due date is between Aug 13-Aug16. I am SOOO sick, it is horrible, never had this issue with the twins. I am keeping all food down but gagging quite a bit. Bagel and cream cheese i've been living off of (but still managing to gain weight!)

Congrats on your scan.. doc only sees 1 as well, but I keep wondering as i feel so bad. I am still adjusting to the fact another baby is coming? How about you, were you very surprised or was this little one very well planned? Congrats on the good ultrasound news!

 

I am in complete shock with this pregnancy.We were NOT having more children.Lol. This is number 6 for us.We also have a 14 yr old dd and 12 yr old ds.I was "done" after the twins. And then came Chloe , whom I was on the pill with.I've given up on birth controls.My tubes are getting tied after this one. :ibiggrin: My due date is August 12,so far.It might change after next scan. My twinks turn 3 on the 10th, so it wil be a busy time.
I'm sick with this one but it is scattered.Sometimes in the morning but mostly at night and alot after I eat. I've been really sick when its a girl so I'm thinking a boy this time.

 

Congrats on seeing a healthy heartbeat!

 

I forgot to wish you all the very best for a healthy and happy 9 months.

 

Well, it happened to my friend, but she was earlier on at only 5-6 weeks. THey were ID twins. My mono-di twins were quite obvious at 7 weeks.

 

Yay for a healthy heartbeat! With the twins, I had a quick u/s at 7 weeks for dating, and another at 11 weeks for heartbeat, and only one baby was seen both times. We found out at 21 weeks it was twins. :shok:

 

Becky,

Did you ask the ultrasound tech or doctor to check around for twins? I mentioned this a few times, so I really hope it isn't a possibility, I guess unless they were id in the same sac and that would be very rare I think.. I'll see again on Monday. I had a dream last night baby didn't make it.. it was so sad.. these vivid dreams are scary! I hope it was just a bad dream.
