Re: Possibility of Twin Shadowing Twin?
I don't really think so. But I'm no expert.
Call your doctor and ask what he is looking for. Otherwise you'll go crazy wondering if it is twins or something bad. Stress = bad for momma.
I'm lurking over here. But I recall an u/s that some people had rather often around that time frame. I forget what they called it (my doctor didn't do one until 20 weeks). Its probably just routine for your doctor. I wouldn't worry about it. Just enjoy your sneak peak at your LO.
Good luck with your pregnancy. I really enjoyed mine.
Your doctor just said he had "questions" but didn't say what they were? Did he tell you he thought it may be twins or are you guessing? It seems like he would have mentioned that.
I definitely see it too!
I can see what she's talking about... The "shadow" that looks like another baby from the extra line underneath it. It might just be a glitch in the machine.
I know I've been posting a lot but in my defense, I can not get ahold of the doctor until possibly tomorrow so I've had all weekend to wonder what the heck is going on.
And to the people who see what I see; at least I'm not crazy lol. I don't think it's twins but I can see why a doctor might question it.

I may have to wait....I'll never give up.

I am sorry you are so stressed out, and the doc really should have been more specific in the message he left you... as an OB he should know that vague messages could cause a new mom to be to panic.
That said, Dr. Google can really mess with your head. I would highly highly recommend you stay away from it until you can speak to your doctor. There are thousands of things he could want to talk to you about, and chances of you speculating correctly are pretty slim. I know it is difficult to just relax. Believe me, I know.. I have suffered a loss.
I am not trying to be rude at all. The added stress isn't safe for you and everything you find on Google is going to raise your stress level up and up.
Again, all that being said. The "rudeness" you received has a lot to do with the fact that we are not doctors. We do not have a trained eye to be able to look at that U/S and know of anything out of the ordinary. We are just a bunch of hormonal women that are experiencing all the same worries and anxieties. Not a single one of us is going to be able to tell you what questions your doctor wants to ask.
I really hope that everything works out and that the questions are about something minor. Keep us updated after to talk to him.. but please please please, for your sanity and ours.. STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE!
No one is being rude or snotty. Just stating from experience that its not healthy to be obsessed when you have no idea what the doctor is talking about. So chill out. And you want more opinions, opinions that don't matter and are not trained to look at an u/s. So don't flip out if someone doesn't think you're having twins, when you stated in previous post it was a crappy machine anyways. I had to wait a week to find out I lost my baby before, so waiting 2 days to know if it's twins get over it. Chill out and stop the drama. I know this post was a lil rude, but I'm emotional and irrational so I don't care
