Heard the Heartbeat

I love that sound

. The NP read me the results from my first U/S and she said oh there was a 2nd sack that looked to be degenerating. That makes me sad that it could have been twins and now it won't be. I go back next week for the NT scan. I had to get the bloodwork done afterwards. Do they really need to draw that much blood? Come on if you got my blood type and RH status a year ago I am pretty sure it's not going to change. So now I can tell the world.

I'm so glad things are going well. I'm sorry about the second sack. I'm sure any loss is a bit of a heartbreak, even when you do have a successful pregnancy to look forward to.

That is great news! I can't believe there was a 2nd sac though...did they talk about why it was degenerating?

Have fun telling the world! Are you going to find out what you are having?

We don't know if we are going to find out. Part of me wants to since I hate suprises but another part wants to wait b/c we are only having 2 kids. So this will be my only opportunity to have a suprise baby

How exciting Julie! Sorry about the 2nd sack!

Did they say the 2nd sack was in deed another baby that had started to develop? I had a 2nd sack in the very beginning and they told me it was a "sub-bleed"....almost like a bruise. They said they are very common and that most of the time women don't even know they have them. With mine I was told no "nooky" for several weeks and then had strict weight lifting restrictions until about 18 wks when it had finally gone away completely!

nope no restrictions. i think it would explain the high beta #. We will know for sure next week at the NT scan. The NP wasn't concerned and kind of said it in a nonchalent kind of way.

Yay for a healthy heartbeat! I'm so excited for you Big Smile

And sorry about the vanishing twin. It stinks, even if you didn't know you were having twins. I felt somewhat guilty for feeling sad about it when I have one perfectly healthy growing baby, but it still stings a little when people ask "Are you SURE its not twins!?!" because they think I am so big.

(((hugs))) let me know if you ever need to talk

Glad to hear about the healthy heartbeat. Sorry about the second sac. I'm sure it's hard to think of the possibility that you may have lost a baby.

I had something similar happen when I was pg with Zoey, but like kac mentioned I think it was more of like a "mass" that ended up absorbing on its own. They said that it could have been a second sac, but they really couldn't tell.
