Has anyone on here experienced an early ultrasound (6-10) weeks where they missed one baby?

or know of anyone this happened to?

    My SIL had this happen. One twin was ectopic and they didn't know it until her Fallopian tube ruptured and she hemorrhaged at 10 weeks. The other twin, my nephew, survived. Scary ordeal.

    They only saw one at 6 weeks and we saw the second at 10 weeks. They were in the same placenta which is, I think, what made it easier to miss so early on.

    At my 5 and 6 week ultrasounds, they only saw one sac. We saw two sacs and babies at my 7 week ultrasound.

    They saw one baby around 6 weeks, might have been 5 weeks something and we saw two heartbeats at 10 weeks. My girls are mono/di.

    I know someone who it happened to, but it was about 15 years ago. I'm guessing technology has gotten a lot better since then.

    I'm not sure what the exact week was, but she was about halfway through her pregnancy. During an ultrasound the tech simply said "hey, you didn't tell me you were having twins!" Her DH literally fell out of his chair.

    They were identical, sharing a placenta.
