If not appropriate, please remove, or let me know. *possible multiple lurker* No appointment until next Friday, but I have "that feeling." Actually, I'm not sure if it is actually that feeling, or I'm just so excited at the possibility of twins, I'm willing to believe anything! My twin story: I'm a twin. two younger siblings: twins. Dad: twin. Paternal grandma: 2x twins. Every twin born to a twin on dad's side has her own set of twins. Every oldest daughter born to a twin has her own set (except my oldest sister!). Oh, and twins run on my mom's side, too. We need all the twin vibes possible!
@jeancrawford - Im definitely not an expert on it - but a lot of the articles I read (my MIL is an identical twin and my materal grandfather) pointed to twins not being genetic.
We got our twins through IVF - so definitely not genetic here.
Unfortunately - you'll just have to hang tight until the ultrasound next Friday. But sending you good vibes for one or two healthy babes!
@jeancrawford Yeah you'll find that most of us in the twin/multiples subgroup are PAIF. I had fertility drugs and an IUI, the combination of which results in twins more often than in the general population. My maternal grandfather was an identical twin, but we are sure in our case this wasn't genetic and that mine are likely fraternal.
That said if you find out you are carrying twins, great! Maybe your family is just weird (in a good way) like that. Either way, best of luck to you and hopefully you will have at least one strong heartbeat at your u/s. Let us know how it goes!
(Non multiple lurker) @Cowboycorgi I'm so so sorry for your loss of baby B. I'll be crossing everything that baby A continues to thrive. Also just want to say it's so ok to grieve the loss of one baby while still being happy for your other baby. It's ok to be sad right now.
