Hello all,
Needless to say I freaked out when I wiped yesterday morning to find bright red blood. I looked in the toilet--blood and maybe a small clot. After waiting a half and hour and wiping again to find more spotting, I called my Dr. who advised me to go directly to the hospital.
As I waited there for hours and hours I felt better knowing that the spotting had lightened up but I still stayed to be assured that all was well with my pregnancy.
I finally had blood work done and an US. As the tech examined me I waited in anticipation---WHAT DO YOU SEE? Lol finally, he asked---"Do twins run in your family?" I was shocked! I said, "Yes my mom was pregnant with fraternal twins but unfortunately lost them." Well, he found the heartbeat to one and NOT the other. Baby A measured at 7W4d. My blood work confirmed those measurements. The other sac they said was a lot smaller and the tech couldnt find a heartbeat even during the transvaginal US. The Dr explained I had a subchorionic haematoma that may have caused the spotting. I was so relieved and excited. The thought of two was so exciting but of course I am extremely happy and feel blessed that one was healthy!
