Just found out there's TWO!!

mrsboulay04

Hi! I'm back on the boards after having my son 3 1/2 years ago. We found out a month ago we were pregnant. My DH found out first...I took the test, forgot I took the test and left it on the vanity where he saw it, lol! Had to go to the ER yesterday because of spotting (my OB didn't have office hours). The PA walks through the door, and after trying for two years I thought we were gonna get bad news, and she just said, "Congratulations! It's TWINS!" I totally dropped the F-bomb in the hospital...I'm excited  ...but scared ...

Mrs. Alice

Congrats and welcome!  How many weeks are you?

mrs.cam

Congratulations! It is scary, but fun too!

Awe congrats!!!  That is funny about your DH finding out first, as there is no way you could have pried that pee stick out of my hand before the results popped up

Here's to a happy & health 9 mos!

Thanks everyone! I still can't believe I forgot I took the damn test! ROFL! I am 8 weeks and 3 days...for some reason my ticker isn't working...I have no idea how I get it on there...

congrats and welcome!

so they did an u/s? you didn't see it being done? do you know if they're mo/di or di/di?

mrsboulay04

isn't this supposed to just "appear" on every post I make...ugh pregnancy brain

They are dizygotic twins, they each have their own sac...I wasn't permitted to see the sonogram because I was in the ER boo...but I have my follow up scheduled for this Tuesday, and then when I go, they will refer me out to the Maternal Fetal Specialists, where I'll get to see the US (YAY!)

This. I didn't want to be skeptical, but how did the doctor walk in the door telling you? Shouldn't you have been told while they were doing the ultrasound?

I am confused...

pea-kay

ah, i see. i never had an u/s in the ER.

good that they're di/di, less high risk. (and it's dichorionic, not necessarily dizygotic. sorry. i am a little too informed about all this stuff.)

oh, and aren't 3.5 year old boys fun?

I guess I was typing and didn't see the reply above my last post.

Congratulations and welcome!

mrsboulay04

Oh my goodness! I have my hands full with the one, never mind three! But I guess they manage to keep themselves occupied, no? Yes, excited they each have their own sac, one less thing I need to worry about, as I am high-risk to begin with (multiple instances of endometriosis, and ovarian cysts, plus a late loss)

Don't feel bad about being too "informed", I am a semester away from getting my Early Childhood Associates Degree, and the last class I took was in Child Development, birth-two, lol!

aw, thanks!

They wouldn't even let my husband come with me! Apparently, it's a tech that does the scan, and then the radiologist reads it and gives the result to the doctors, all the while, the screen is turned so I can't see it. So, about an hour after the scan, she comes in and just drops the news...in a way I'm kinda glad they didn't let me see, because I didn't want to see w/o my DH there, and we were both told the news at the same time, so that made the "shock" a bit easier

mrsboulay04

I forgot...in the ER, there's a section where each bed is separated by a curtain, but then there is a little wing with 4 tiny rooms, and I was in one of those...:)
