What's with women who can't get over the idea that they're having twins when really there's only one in there?
Seriously?!? I've become one of them. I honestly wish I could shake the idea, but my mind is being so stubborn! I never experienced this with my previous pregnancies. With those I just knew there was one and I didn't give it a second thought. But this time, my mind keeps playing tricks on me.... Surely, I'm not alone in this craziness??
It started when I first found out I was pregnant. When I took my first pregnancy test, the test line appeared before the control line even showed up and it remained much much darker. At first I was convinced I was holding the thing upside down and kept flipping it around, but then the shock wore off when the control line appeared and I realized I was indeed pregnant! I didn't really think much of it at the time, but then a week later the overwhelming I think it's twins thoughts started entering into my head.
Then my uterus started feeling fuller and heavier than it did in my previous pregnancies. My morning sickness and other pregnancy symptoms remained about the same though seemed to have started about a week earlier this time around.
At 9 weeks, I had my first midwifery appointment and she confirmed that I was in fact measuring ahead and my uterus was palpating around 14 weeks. The next day I went for an u/s to confirm dates and take inventory. The u/s measured baby at 9+3 weeks and confirmed that there was only one.
Now I'm 11+5 weeks and I'm palpating to be 19 weeks. There were no anomalies found in the ultrasound that would account for the increased fundal height. A few years back I did train to be a midwife and while it was very common during my work placements for women who have had previous babies to measure 3-5 weeks ahead around this stage, I never encountered anyone measuring a full two months ahead without an identifiable cause. I'm rather puzzled...
And then last night I foolishly googled missed twin on ultrasound and now that thought is just consuming me! I've been looking at my ultrasound pic and I keep seeing all of these potential 'I wonder what that could be??" spots. There's one spot in particular I find interesting.
Logic is telling me I'm being totally delusional for even thinking such a thing.
Is there anyone else here feeling equally delusional??
