Did anyone have a scan at 5-6 weeks with twins?

[Islabella]

hi all,

I posted in the first trimester thread about my scan but not many people there had had any experience with twins so thought I'd try here too. I had a scan yesterday (very early) and the tech said he could see two yolk sacs but only one gestational sac - most probably will develop into twins as both are a similar size and have a good white line around them.

I was too dumbstruck to ask many questions but could see the two "bubbles" on the screen. Did anyone have a similar scan early on? I know it's really early still but if they share a gestational sac does that mean they're identical? I've posted the picture below (I hope!) can you guys see the two yolk sacs? One is nestled in between the other and the bottom right side of the gest sac... Does it matter they're so close together?

im terrified as my sister in law lost one of her monochorionic diamniotic twin boys two years ago through complications (severe heart defect).

I did have a scan at 5weeks 4 days but there were 2 gestational sacs so Im not much help.
When is your next scan?

I can't be of any help either. I had a scan at 6 weeks and there were two sacs.

Next scan is around 8 weeks (20 days time!) seems like forever! Plenty of time to do my head in with google searches and the like though... I'm trying really hard to be good and not scare myself or get my hopes up!

That would be hard to wait that long! I had my follow up scan a week later.

I had a scan at 5+4 but I had two gestational sacs. The waiting is so hard. I had to wait another 2 weeks to go back to check for heartbeats. 3 weeks would be torturous! Hope the time goes quickly for you!

I had a scan at 5w5d and there was 2 sacs but only one heart beat. Two weeks later both had heart beats. 4 years later they are driving me nuts lol

Update: I had a second scan today due to bleeding and pain - it showed one baby with a healthy heartbeat and one which hadn't developed 😢 very sad that one of he twins didn't develop but nature obviously didn't intend both my little beans to join us right now. Thanks for all your help, as sad as it is I'm relieved that one of them has developed a heartbeat and cross my fingers and toes that this one joins us happy and healthy in 7 and a half months. X

I am so glad one of your beans is nice and strong and will surely do great. And I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[firstbaby9573]

Sorry to hear that but you must concentrate on your one little blessing now xx

We were kind of in the same place as you a few weeks ago, expecting to lose one of the two as it was measuring a good week behind, so we had that conflicting emotion of trying to be at peace either way. It was going to be bittersweet no matter which way things went.

Here's hoping for a trouble free and happy pregnancy through until the end for you!

I had two sacs too. I'm sorry for your loss. Don't worry yourself. Just stay calm and baby dust and prayers for you.
