Hi Everyone..new here!

ktspj

-->I went in for an u/s today and it's TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am in shock.  I went in today for a follow up u/s to confirm a miscarriage. I was bleeding last week and had an u/s and there was nothing there. so my midwife was pretty sure it wasn't looking good. I was only measuring 5 weeks and I knew that I should have been at least 6.  So fast forward to toady I go in fully expecting bad news!   I am completely shocked,happy, excited and terrified!  They are 7 weeks!! But they told me that they are considered high risk because they are in the same sac,  I will have 4 kids under 3!!!  OMG!!!!!!

I am looking forward to talking with all of you!

Welcome and Congrats... When I went in and found out they were twins they thought at that time they were in the same sac, but when I went at 12wks for another u/s they could tell they were in different sacs. The Dr. explained that when they are that little it is had to tell if there is two sacs. I hope there is two sacs it isn't as high risk.

Well, it depends on what her doctor meant. If they meant gestational sac, then there's some risk, but if they meant same amniotic sac, that's super-high-risk. But it's way too early for them to determine that, so I am assuming they just meant gestational sac.

wow- i can't imagine going in expecting a m/c and finding out it's twins!

Congrats and welcome!

 If I understand this right. There is one gestational sac and can either be one amniotic sac or two amniotic sac or am I way off. Sorry I don't understand how all this works . I know at 6wks it looked like it was all together in one sac then the next time there were two sacs and still one placenta.

Congrats and welcome to the board.

hamilton - if you have monochorionic twins, then yes, that's right. but you can also have twins in two gestational sacs. but of course if her twins are in one sac, either way, they're monochorionic.

it can be very confusing!

Thank you pea-kay.

I am already confused! Lol! They are in the same gestational sac and they think they may share one amniotic sac also.  But everything I have been reading says it may be too soon to determine that.

definitely too soon to determine that. did they see one or two yolk sacs? my first u/s was at 7w3d and you could clearly see the yolk sacs. # of yolk sacs generally detemines # of amniotic sacs.

Welcome! There are a handful of moms on here with toddler(s) plus twins with lots of helpful advice! Enjoy your pregnancy!

I am pretty sure there were two yolk sacs.

Welcome and congrats on your twins! Sort of the same thing happened to me. We went for an u/s to find out if I was miscarrying, but we found out it was twins instead. Talk about shocker! H&H 9 to you and your babies!

Congrats!

I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks.  At 6 weeks, I started bleeding so I headed the ER thinking I was having a miscarriage.  They did a sono and found twins.

Mine are now 22 months old!
