Feronia my best friend bled off and on for several weeks early in her pregnancy. She was terrified too because she had already had a miscarriage, but all was ok and she saw a HB and now her baby is 11 weeks old. thinking of you. FX baby is healthy and strong.

Savvy, did you say you got to hear the heartbeats? I didn't know you could hear them before 10 weeks... that is awesome! I'm hoping to hear my little one at my 11.5 week appointment. That is three weeks away and I can't wait! Since I'm moving away, I'll be going to my new OB. I hope I like it there as much as my current one.

I heard my peanut's heartbeat at 6w4d and again at 7w3d. It's amazing!!!!!!

Just caught up on the last ten pages I've missed over the last day or two, thank you everyone for the kind messages! I have one very excited husband right now and I'm already enjoying being called a milf!

Love the pictures of the scans girls, and twins, wow!!

 

[maisie78]

Got another scan booked at the epu next Tuesday. They wouldn't scan again before Saturday as that is 2 weeks since my last one. It's more for reassurance as I do still 'feel' pregnant but this spotting has me completely stressed! Looking forward to seeing squidge though

I have an ultrasound Monday 2:30 then i have the papers for the blood work. I also have the paperwork to do my 12w screening, but im not sure im going to do it. I didn't do it for my other two.

I also have the same MW that delivered my son

 

[swanxxsong]

My first scan is also Tuesday! I am nervous as anything but am hopeful for good news.

Feronia. I never had bleeding with my pregnancy but I know many who've had full bleeds, saw baby and all was okay. Hoping that it's also the case for you!

 

[Feronia]

I had a vaginal scan done today and the baby is measuring on track at 6 weeks with a heartrate of 110 (does that seem low? The tech said it's fine for this stage). The bleeding and cramps I have are because of a subchorionic hematoma, so hopefully that gets reabsorbed. My midwife thinks it's good news and told me to buy a tincture of crampbark, so fingers crossed!

I had the vaginal scan done yesterday and the twins are measuring 7 weeks 1 day and their heartrates were 138/130...but I am a week ahead. Sending lots of positive vibes.

That is truly amazing!!! I forget the odds of that but very rare! So excited for you! You will love having twins and your twins will be best friends. I wonder if they are identical! Would make them even more rare!
I have an identical twin sister. We were conceived naturally and my m only had one ovary. We were triplets but our triplet didn't make it. Back then they didn't monitor mothers the way they do now. My mom didn't officially know she was carrying twins until she was 6 months along! She tried to tell the dr there was more than one in there. Lol
Anyway enjoy it. My sister and I are best friends and inseparable. Believe me growing to there were many days we hated each other but now our relationship is better than ever.

Thank you for your note, it helps me keep positive and remain excited! While I am thrilled to be carrying two miracle twins...I am also a bit nervous of having two babies at once. The tech thought they were fraternal...I don't know anything about twins, yet! So I can't wait to find out more information. Such a special bond that babies form before they are even born!

Feronia - That's a great rate for 6 weeks. I hope the hematoma is gone soon, and I'm glad your little one is doing well.

Savvy - Twins are a blast. I have a set of boy/girl twins. It looks like your little ones are in two completely different sacs on the sonogram pictures, so they are most likely fraternal, although about 25% of the time identicals can separate early enough to be in separate sacs too.

 

[Krohrer90]

Hello! I'm brand new to this group! My EDD is February 24th and my first doctor's apt is this coming Tuesday. I'm 5 weeks and 2 days.

 

[jmandrews]

I think my twin and I were not in the same sac and we are identical. I don't think that matters. It whether or not the egg splits or they came from two different eggs. regardless it is a special bond.

Welcome! Congrats! We are due close to the same day. I'm due 25th as far as I know. Best of luck at your first appt.

Yes! The tech wasn't sure if she would be able to hear the heartbeat since she thought I was 8 weeks, but it was such an amazing sound! Baby A was 138 and Baby B was 130! I hope you like your new OB and with your move and all the excitement, hopefully time will fly and it will be time for you 11.5 week appointment!

Wow! That is awesome! I might have a few questions for you, if you don't mind. I was also going to check out the multiples forum for some advice. There is a lot for me to learn!

I read something about when the egg splits determines the sacs, sometimes they split 1-5dpo, 5-10dpo, etc. I was getting confused though!

 

[MellyH]

Krohrer, we are due date buddies.

Guess what everyone?! I'm back to pooping nearly normally for the moment. Glamourous, I know.

 

[Feronia]

If they are identical twins, you want them to be in separate amniotic sacs! (Which is the most common anyway.) Very rarely, identical twins will be mono/mono, which means they share both an amniotic sac and a placenta, and in that case, the potential for problems to occur (like entanglement) is much higher.

I have a terrible headache right now. I'm worried because it's so hot in my apartment and due to electrical problems we can't have an AC, so I have to keep fans in my windows and all day there's been cigarette smell blowing in from outside (just about all my neighbors smoke) and I really think that's what's causing my headache. I'll deal with the headache, but I'm just worried that the smell isn't healthy for me, my kids, and of course little sticky bean... I'm not sure what to do, we don't have too many windows. Am I just overreacting (I tend to be very paranoid ) or should I be worried about our health? I don't think it's the actual smoke, I think it's just the smell, but my last midwife was crazy about the dangers secondhand smoke and said that even if you SMELL it, it can be damaging... sorry if I sound like a loony right now I'm just worried

Thanks! I have so much to learn...I better start reading!
