AND I got a peek at the babies again. They don't usually do u/s on first visit apparently but since he didn't know if i was mono/mono or mono/di with the twins he asked if i wanted one (really? who would say no?!) and squeezed me in with his u/s tech. There were clearly 2 amniotic sacs which means mono/di and less high risk than the other type. Yay! Heartbeats were 174 and 167 and both measuring 8 weeks 1 day. I am so very relieved. It's amazing, even though I just saw them last Friday I think I was more worried for this first OB visit.
He referred me to a MFM due to a heart issue, ID twins, AMA, and MTHFR/PAI-1 so I was able to get in with them on July 9th and I will be 10 weeks. Getting a high resolution u/s, genetic counseling (?) and a consult. I go back for my next OB appointment in 3 weeks and he will continue to see my every 3 weeks instead of 4 because its twins. Yay for more monitoring! Now having to wait the 2 weeks for the MFM is going to be the next hurdle. Feels like we're constantly waiting for something, doesn't it?!
Re: 1st OB appointment today!
That is great that you are going to be monitored so closely! And nice to have some bonus ultrasounds!
