[girlinyork]

Wouldn't surprise me now if a moderator shut the whole thread down :/

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Well, if this thread gets closed (which I think is likely), please start a new thread and update us when your friend has her scan, Squeaks!

 

[lewood88]

Like i said before too many judgmental ppl on here i mean we all come here for advice and open to other ppls views but some ppl need to not come across so harsh

It it possible to miss a twin my friend didn't find out she was having twins til 20 weeks. And she had scans at 7 and 12 weeks. It is possible

She said she was 26 weeks and had a scan. It is not possible for them to miss a baby that late.

you would think that all right LOL but any thing is possible, I have heard of it happening before, I guess it is more possible when they assume your having one baby so are not looking for a second!!! It is strange the scanner could not find one, but then as others have said she may not have been allowed look and have to follow protcol and book another scan!! terrible the poor girl has to wait a month to find out though

Hey! I dnt know anybody who has gone through this but i guess anything is possible...on a different site i was on when last pregnant...this lady had her baby and weeks after she told doctors she could still feel kicking and they checked her and she actually concived another child whilr pregnant! And was like 29 weeks pregnant :0 was amazing!...hope ur friend gets sorted out and everything ok for her xx

I have heard of that before there was a month between the twins


Hope the thread does not get closed looking forward to seeing what happens

It isn't unheard of so move along from bickering with each other ladies. Don't see why the OPs post should be closed down.

Discuss in a civilised manner or leave the thread!

i can't answer why they've made her wait a month before she can have her scan with the specialist to be honest. there may be a reason or it just might be down to the nhs wait i will have to ask her this tonight when i speak to her. i was to caught up in the "huh can there actually be room for one to hide." its shocked me how many on here have heard of some who has experienced it or experienced it themselves. before this i probably would of been more of a person who would be thinking how could it be missed. but obviously it can. its a very surreal situation so its not surprising to have people question it all. xx

We had to have a lot of specialist scans during my last pregnancy. We had to wait quite a while between them because the cardiologist only had one clinic a fortnight at our hospital. And with so many people to see we only got seen by him once a month. It could just be that the specialist they need to see her isnt available locally to get a sooner apointment.

Frustrating, hope everything goes well

Looking forward to hearing an update about your friend, this post has got me scared about the idea of them finding a second baby at my next scan though, I can't imagine finding out there's two on the way now I've got my head round just one! Must be crazy actually finding out during labour too, although I'm sure it's exciting as well!

Bubbles, this sort of thing is incredibly rare. In fact, if I was a betting woman, I'd bet on squeaks friend only having the one x

Yeah I thought the same, but my pregnant non rational brain worries about silly things even if I know they're unlikely to happen!

I love your scan pic by the way, so cute

 

[girlinyork]

Thanks so much

I know what you mean though. I've worried over ridiculous things lol

 

[steph.]

Interested to see what the outcome is! Hope the next month flies by for her.

 

[LiteBRIGHT33]

Bump. Want to hear the results!

 

[Tasha]

Wow, how amazing would it be to find out that late you're having twins?

With regards to the wait between scans, specialist appointments can take ages. I had a four week wait for a fetal medicine appointment which is where they do the specialist scans here. and that four week wait was with them knowing she was very small and fighting for her life.

What! That is truly crazy. Off to buy OH a pack of condoms [/QUOTE

Haahaaa! I love that! He will probably look confused when you do!

 

[iluvmyfamily]

Just because something is labeled rare doesn't mean it can't happen. Rare just means it's not something you hear of a lot, but still happens.

I never heard of a twin being missed on an ultrasound that far into the game but anything is possible and I'm no doctor. Crazier things have happened. It'd be a HUGE blessing if she really is pregnant with twins!

Good luck to her and yes, please update us

 

[Purplehippo]

Can't wait to hear outcome x

 

[FlowerPotMum]

There was a lady on the gender disappointment forum who, after 2 boys already, was desperate for a little girl. At her 20 week scan, she stayed team yellow but all showed a healthy single baby. She went slightly over due i recall and gave birth to a baby boy, not little either! Soon after, she also have birth to a 3lb baby girl who had been hiding behind her much larger brother the whole time!
It DOES happen!

Can't wait to hear results

Just remembered another reason I was worrying about it happening to me, there was a thread a few days ago about someone who was doing psychic gender predictions, and a few of us got one and posted results. Mine came back saying boy and girl twins, but my two scans so far have only picked up one baby! I thought it was really strange that it came back saying that when the others were getting boy or girl.
