Hi. Am I having twins or not ??!!

[Ann-Marie]

Hi There,

I'm Ann-Marie. I found out 2 days ago, that we're pregnant, much to mine and my husbands surprise. We have 2 boys already, 5 and 2, and weren't planning to have anymore, so this really was a shocker!!

I've been really poorly for the last week, with this sickness and dire-rear bug, and lost 9 pounds in weight which I haven't regained ( I can think of better ways to lose the Christmas Pud weight ). I wasn't too concerned about the stomach pain that I've had, just thinking that it was from the bug. However, now knowing that I was pregnant, I called the doctors yesterday, and they sent me straight to the hospital.

I had blood tests and scans. My HCG level came back as 298, and when they did a scan, she said she could see 2 sacs, and was about 4 weeks pregnant. As you can imagine, I nearly fell off the bed. Twins !!! But when I asked her outright, 'Is it twins?', she was really non-commital, and went on to say she would be very surprised if I went on to have twins...............

So, as you can guess, I'm really confused. They have told me I have to go back tomorrow for another HCG test, and I have to go back for a scan a week Thursday. Do you think they are thinking it could be twins, ut just won't say anything to me???

Sometimes people lose one twin in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Was one of the sacs empty?

 

[Ann-Marie]

I'm only 4 weeks, so she could literally just see 2 black areas, well actually 3!!!, which she said were potential pregnancies. She could only get a clear enough picture of 2 of them to take measurements......

Welcome to BnB!

Wishing you good luck for your scan!

The presence of more than one gestational sac does indicate a multiple pregnancy.
However if the sonographer doubts one or more of the pregnancies will continue, I assume the shape of the gestational sac must have been irregular, as at 4 weeks gestation there would be no other signs present to confirm viable pregnancies in all sacs.
By 6/ 7 weeks you should be seeing a small feotus, yolk sac and fetal pole...Maybe in more than one sac!

Have you been booked in for another scan in a few weeks time, or just blood work?

Well your HCG level will give a clue as to whether you are carrying more than one baby, but it won't be conclusive.
-Hopefully your next scan will give you some firm answers.
