Can't wrap my head around it

in Pregnant after a Loss

Just got back from our first ultrasound.  Too early to see much, Dr. said probably about 5 weeks along.  We also saw definitely one, maybe 2 gestational sacs!  Indifferent  I noticed the second one before he said anything and thought, "maybe it's just a reflection or something" (yeah right, I know better), and then he said it; "Hmm... there's a possibility of twins here".  I must have stopped breathing because then he added, "but I think it could just be some extra gestational fluid".  WTH!!!  I mean I know we wanted a baby really really badly so our DD could have a sibling, but this would be a total game changer!  Don't know what to think,  have any of you had "extra gestational fluid" that could have looked like a second sac, and turn out to be nothing, or do you think it's likely twins?  I just don't know what to think!!

    So frustrating that he left you hanging like that! ugh! I hope you get to go back soon and look, cuz I'm with you--that would make me want to tear my hair out. Just give me answers, dammit! lol.

    The one thing to note, and it's not very sunshine and rainbows, is that twin pregnancies are actually pretty common, but many times they go undetected because one baby fails to implant or develop correctly and is reabsorbed by your body. This is called "vanishing twin" and it's pretty common in the first trimester. We're especially aware of it in our modern world because people are having ultrasounds so much earlier and more frequently than they used to. So I guess what I'm saying is "who knows?". Heck, our first ultrasound at over 6 weeks only saw one baby, so I'm kind of inclined to take those early ultrasounds with a grain of salt. They're good for seeing the hb, but beyond that it's often too early to know much of anything.

    Personally, I hope it's a twin pregnancy because I know ours has been so great and I would wish it on everyone! Good luck and keep us posted!
