Hi ladies firstly, I did do a similar post in 1st trimester but someone has suggested trying in here due to it being dedicated to multiples.
Bare with me as my story is a bit long.
I am due to have a scan for suspected twins/multiples and to date on Tuesday due to a few reasons.
This will be my 8th pregnancy, 6 are very healthy and range from 2 to 15. Sadly the one before this I lost at 8 weeks in May last year due to doctor treatment. With all of my pregnancies apart from this one I don't usually show on tests until the 7/8 week mark and with my last pregnancy had tests a few days prior to treatment to my cervix which showed negative. I had missed my period by then but the docs were adamant it was because I was still breastfeeding and my periods were just not back to normal cycle.
Anyway 3 weeks after that I had a scan which showed I was 8 weeks by then so had been 4/5 weeks pregnant when I had negatives. The baby was very healthy but the treatment had caused a bleed lower down in my uterus they thought that it was a safe distance away from the babys sac. However sadly it wasn't and caused the waters to rupture and I lost the baby. I usually always have low hcg levels until the 8th week and even then some have been feint.
Now with this pregnancy my last period was November the 10th, I had some tiny spotting on the 20th December and then around the 8th small spotting again. Where I was sent to the EPAU and had an emergency scan where it showed my uterus enlarged but no pregnancy and the blood level showed nothing. So I was sent away and told that it was more than likely my period starting. But it never came and at the end of January the sickness set in really bad did a test which was positive and I thought there was something wrong with them so got a first response. That came up positive so fast I hadn't finished peeing on it and it was so dark the colour was zapped out the control line when that eventually showed up.
I thought there was something wrong with the test so I did another and that did the same. On the the 3rd February I did a clear blue which said I was 5+ weeks. Which I know can't be right because first of all I had a scan and second of all my HCG levels are never high enough then.
So went to get bloods drawn from doc by then I was by what us and the midwife have worked at 5 weeks. My hcg was sitting at 50,000.
I always carry the girls and boys very similar. Girls extremely physically sick from about 8 weeks on and then boys very nauseous but not much physical. But this one has been so different.This has been extreme 24 hr nausea and a few being physically sick. I have been stuck on bed and sofa rest for weeks as I am so what I can only describe as weak. I have been put on iron tablets which have helped alot and tablets to help with the nausea but they only take the edge off and make me more dizzy and tired if thats possible. Its hard because I am also still breastfeeding my 2yo lil girl and trying to keep my energy levels up.
The midwife has put me straight for a scan rather than any more bloods as we all suspect multiples and she says especially with my symptoms, amount of pregnancies, age and some other factors and the fact that my hcg level for me was high. I swear also I can feel flutters on either side. Now at 12 weeks with my 2yo lil girl I got the flutters so they have gotten early each pregnancy but this is like theres a party inside! After 8 pregnancies I know the difference between gas and the flutterings so i'm not crazy.
But I had saw a lady had said that hers were very high and showed triplets which well I never really thought I just thought maybe twins.
I have had a feeling from the beginning and hubby that its twins he jokes about triplets but I just laugh it off. Just wondering if anyone has had the same with the levels and stuff and its just been twins.
It could be that I was further on which we're not dismissing but everyone is saying multiples. The midwife doesn't seem worried although she did promise to hit my hubby if he talked about anything more than twins.
I have alot of mixed emotions for Tuesday so just preparing myself really. I'd be grateful to see what anyone thinks
