June 2013 Moms

new/ intro
Hi, I am Dawn. I have a 7 year old Easton and I am expecting twins due June 22nd for now but will get a better idea at my next ultrasound 12/13. I will be having a repeat planned c section. Would be great to get to 39 weeks but that might be wishful thinking.
I have a history of fibroids so I had a very early ultrasound to check their sizes and locations out. My ultrasound was at about 5 weeks or so. I got called into the office for the results ( I thought for sure something with the fibroids had made this a non viable pregnancy when they made me come in) and was told there was two gestational sacs but they only saw a yolk sac in one. My doctor said at the time that there was a 50% chance that the pregnancy would continue as twins and ordered another ultrasound. In a week and a half I went back (longest week and a half ever mind you) and the tech got one very clear heartbeat and definitely saw another bean in the other sac. The bean seemed smaller and tucked in a corner. As we know the tech couldn't say much so I went home and waited to get the results the next day.
When I called he said he heartbeat of one was 146 and the second was 138 He said both seemed to be progressing well and eventually said the percentage of it continuing as twins was now 90% I have been extremely sick, anti nausea meds haven't done much. I am just chalking it up as a sign that both babies are still in there and doing well. I am now about 11 and had a regular appointment this week. He was suroprised he founds the heartbeat on his doppler but said it was too early to differentiate two. He said he had no reason to believe both babies weren't progressing on target and made an appointment the 13th withan ultrasound specialist. I am just so nervous every second about all that could happen and I start googling vanishing twin syndrome and all these other things I know I shouldn't. Not a waking second goes by that I am not wondering if they are still both there and if they are still growing. I try to calm myself that if there is no bleeding or cramping everything is ok but I know I might not actually have any of those signs.
I have posted on the multiples board a couple times but am looking to connect with more people at the same stage as me. Sorry this was so long
Thanks,
Dawn
