  • I don't see two babies, but if there are indeed two, they are definitely identical. If they were fraternal (di/di), you would see two gestational sacs. There is only one in this picture. Peakay has a diagram on her blog to explain better, so hopefully she jumps in to post. Give me a moment to post my 11w u/s of mono/di twins.

    One big gestational sac, two babies.

  • If those are two different sacs/babies then they are di/di which is much lower in risk. They still could he identical which they can guess at by seeing how many corpus lutems you have, but I am not sure if they can miss a follicle. I had two CLs and di/di twins and they are so definitely fraternal it isn't even funny, so I know an egg couldn't have split early on.

  • I am so confused. I had no inclination that there were two and couldn't see any separation. When the tech left the room DH looked at me and said I think I saw two and I said no way that was probably a cyst.

    We heard two heartbeats after the US tech got the doctor to confirm it was twins. She said she needed confirmation from the doctor who said there is definitely two babies.

    I told my mom I am still not convinced and she said I would definitely trust the professionals over your inclination.

    That is a picture of the same sac but two different angles to show both babies. They saw no separation between the two but showed us two lines that are two spines.

  • I am obviously no pro, but I am seeing one baby + yolk sac, and maybe another sac to the right, but not seeing a baby there. From this view, I would say di-di if there is another baby.

    I agree.  Doesn't look like twins to me.  Did you see two heart beats?


  • Ladies here is another pic.  This one shows the 2 horizontal lines which the US tech told me were the spines.  I saw the heartbeats but had no idea it was 2 different ones.  One was very fast and the line was all over the place.  The second one sounded more distant and appeared to jump less on the screen.  She told me after that it was 2 and that's why it sounded different.

    I am hoping they call me this week to go see the MFM and they will follow-up with another ultrasound.

  • Totally just saw the pic on the right,I was only seeing one u/s image. yeah, im only seeing one baby.
  • I see what everyone else sees, that it loooks like one baby.  Is it possible that they are conjoined in the same sac?
    God gave me a double portion for my inheritance with my little Mighty men :) 9/19/10 Baby A born at 1:47 am 6lbs 14oz, 20.5inches long. Baby B born at 3:20 am 6lbs 6oz, 19.5inches long. My double blessing!:)

    This picture make me think twins but it has nothing to do with seeing two spines. to me it looks like there is one baby with a yolk sac in one gestational sac and then it looks like there may be a second gestational sac off to the right that isn't in focus.

    Bottom line you really need to go see another doctor for a second opinion. To me it kind of looks like you may have twins but one's that are separate sacs not ID. Keep us updated.

  • I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and mine looked nothing like this, I had mono/di.  I can't post a pic of my u/s bc I'm just that computer literate, but I don't see two babies in yours.  I agree with everyone else, you need to get another opinion, and also that there are not two babies in one sac there.  I for sure see the one baby, but not the other.  I know when I had my first u/s they had to look very hard to make sure what they were seeing wasn't a pulsating umbilical cord, and in fact another heart beat.  I think your seriously need to get another opinion.  Good luck and congrats on your (at least one) baby! :)

  • Thank you all.  I will be calling the doctor tomorrow for my referral.  They said they would call me but I am too impatient to wait.  

    I have been saying to my husband that I only can see one baby the entire time and he has started to get annoyed with me since he swears he saw two.  I was in a fog when they said it so he explained to me in the first pic on the top right there are 2 lines which are both umbilical cords.  One baby is behind the other.  I saw the 2 dots but that could be anything.  I hope I get a clearer picture soon of what is going on.
