NT Scan Surprise!

I'm 12w 6d and heard the heartbeat on the Doppler w/my midwife Monday. Everything looked and sounded great, perfectly normal.

Today I had the NT scan and when the tech put the wand on my belly I immediately see 2 sacs! I must have had quite the look on my face because she said, " So, you didn't know you were having twins?". Umm, no! Surprise! Poor DH missed it so the tech was great and took lots of pics for him. I met him for lunch and he's in shock, poor guy :). Everybody looked good today, now hopefully we can recover from the surprise.

Re: NT Scan Surprise!

  • Omg! Congrats! Was this your first u/s? Or did they miss it previously?

  • OMG that is crazy and scary haha...I can't even imagine how shocked I would be if I found that out at my NT scan
  • It was the first ultrasound we had. The NT scan was optional, but now I'm really glad we know even a few weeks earlier. Here we didn't think we really needed any more baby stuff but now we need the extra car seat, double stroller...and a new car just to fit everyone!

    What's almost a little creepy is we were visiting family last week and my 3yo niece told me out of the blue that there were two babies in my belly. Ten mins later she also told me there were five babies in there so I laughed it off. Guess she was right on the first one!

  • Wow, congrats! I can only imagine if you'd passed on the NT scan and found out at the anatomy scan. What a surprise!

  • I am a twin and have a ton in my family, so my doctor did a US at 9 weeks for me just so I could prepare (only 1 in there!).  Could not imagine not knowing until 20 weeks!  Congrats to you!

    I'm also a twin and had a feeling about this one so I requested an u/s ASAP! I got one at 8 weeks...only one baby! I definitely would have been shocked! Congrats on your surprise
