Missed twins?!

Is there any chance to miss twins at a 16 week ultrasound?! It runs in the family & I'm measuring 7 weeks ahead. Super parinoid, help!

    Seems unlikely. How are you measuring 7w ahead? The size of your belly or the baby?

    Extremely unlikely...like, I would be questioning the tech's competence and eyesight if a twin was missed at a 16wk u/s where measurements were taken.

    I'm going to leave it at that.

    I agree with the PPs.  It's highly unlikely.  If you're measuring that far ahead, they would have looked very closely for another baby during your ultrasound.

    Both of mine fit on the screen on the U/S machine until about 24 weeks, and even after that there was no mistaking because of all the body parts.

    If someone has measured you and acknowledged that you are measuring 7 weeks ahead, then I'm sure they made sure to look carefully during the u/s.  And even if they don't suspect, it's highly unlikely to miss twins at 16w.  They told me the sex of my twins at 16w, the 2nd baby would've been hard to miss.
    Yes, very unlikely that they would have missed a second baby. If you're measuring that far ahead it may be worth getting your GD test done a bit earlier (especially if your baby is measuring ahead).

    Agree....at every US we could either very clearly see 2 babies on the screen at once, or while they look at baby A, we get baby B pushing in with a foot or head etc...would be really hard to miss I would think!
