u/s and pics!

well we had an u/s today! it was awesome both are measuring 8wks5days. heartbeats were 173 and 180, but i dont know which was which. and 1 was measuring 2.17cm and other was 2.23cm (im assuming thats what i saw on the screen when she measured them??)...i guess the difference is okay since they were both measuring same weeks/days. to hear their lil heartbeats was AMAZING. did anyone rent a doppler for any of their pregnancys? and with twins can you really tell the difference between the 2? and since everything looked so good, is there still a chance of losing 1? well here are my pics...

Awesome Ultrasound pictures!! Thanks for sharing! Aren't they great?!

 

Congrats! I think the measurements as early as you are- are in mm- they are still very tiny. At the beginning of my pregnancy I was told that I may lose one- we just seen sacs- I was 5 weeks 5 days- when we did see both heart beats I was told the chance of losing one of them was very less likely. I did not rent a doppler- thought about it, but never did. I would think you should be able to distinguish between the two- they can at the doctors office- although my girls have been the same many times! Just remember- it may add to your stress if you can't find them both...

 

Great news! Glad the appointment went so well.

 

Congrats on seeing the heartbeats! Now that you have seen them, there is a 98% chance things will go just great. I rented a doppler for both pregnancies. I was not able to find the heartbeats until around 10-12 weeks reliably. I mean, I did find it sometimes around 9 weeks, but it took a long time. I could not tell the difference between babies at all at any point in my pregnancy. However, hearing them made me feel so much better because I have had numerous miscarriages. My OB doesn't even use the doppler with multiples because they often cannot tell if they are hearing one or both babies. They gave me an u/s at every visit to check everything. Every OB is different though. I imagine midwives and some OB's find dopplers easy to use and quite reliable. Good luck with everything!
