Did you ever worry about this?

healthynut

I had an u/s at 6 weeks and 2 days.  We saw two very strong little heartbeats.  I don't have another u/s until 10 weeks 6 days.  This is b/c the last one was with my RE and this coming one will be will my OB.  I am worried that I could've lost one twin and would not know until the second u/s.  I am trying not to concentrate on it, but it creeps into my thoughts sometimes.  Anyone else ever have these kind of thoughts?

I did.  I was always afraid that something would go wrong and I wouldn't know.  Then again, I spent WAY too much time on the internet reading about vanishing twin, etc.  Seeing the two heartbeats is a very good sign.  Just take care of yourself and stay positive- and stay off the internet!  (except this board, of course!)

I did/do, that is why most people dont even know that we are expecting twins.  I go for an us and then Im good for about a week and then it is back to three weeks of constant worrying that at the next us I am going to find out that I lost one or both.  It really sucks.  Like the pp said, just take care of yourself and remain positive   Good Luck!

Completely normal!  I think most of us probably had those thoughts! (I still do sometimes!)  Hang in there and try to be positive!

Raises hand.

For about a day after the u/s I would feel great and then it was X amount of weeks of concern and research until the next u/s. I was that way during the entire pregnancy. It did not end until they are out-then you get an additional bag of worries.

Welcome to multiple motherhood.

Me!!!

I am right there with you - had an u/s at 6 weeks 3 days and saw 2 heartbeats and have my RN appointment tomorrow at the ob's office (after which I am assuming we will schedule another u/s)...since it's not scheduled yet I am assuming it will be around 11 weeks...

I am also afraid something could have gone wrong over the past few weeks and I've lost one or both of them and don't even know (especially since many of my "symptoms" are gone...) I guess there is not much to do but hope for the best and "try" to relax!  Good Luck!

I did worry, yes.  Then I got a doppler.  I was able to pick up both hbs within 10 minutes from 11 weeks on.  It helped me stay relatively sane, lol!

Oh yea. My heart literally races and my palms sweat before every ultrasound. I'm totally relieved once I see both of them, hear the heartbeats and find out they are measuring right where they should. That lasts a couple of days and then I worry again until my next appointment. It's gotten a bit better as I've gotten further along, but now I have other concerns like will I know if I'm having PTL, etc. This pregnancy stuff is stressful!

Very normal feelings.  I think it was harder in the first trimester and the feelings will ease up later in your pregnancy but never go away.  I go for an ultrasound every other week and I can start to feel them move and that helps with that worry.

Yep, I've had 4 u/s and seen their healthy beating hearts on the last 3 and like pp said, I feel good for a few days and start worrying again. Each time I feel a little better. 1st trimester is scary.... its all I've ever experienced though so I bet the rest will be just as nerve racking.

Yup!  Even until the very end of the pregnancy when there was like zero chance that anything could be wrong I'd still be freaked out.

But now that they're here I get worried every time I put them down in the other room that something will be wrong with them when I come back.

I think I'm a worrier by nature
