a question for you yummy mummies of identicals!

im_mi · Feb 19th, 2010, 11:23 AM

ok, so i went for an early scan this week (6w4d) and they couldnt get a very good view of the bean. however, the sonographer and her assistant both made a big fuss over what a large gestational sac the baby was in. it looks pretty big to me, too. i asked whether that could be a sign of more than one and she just said "well i can only see one."

i just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience at an early scan and went on to discover two babies later on? it kinda makes sense that a bigger sac=more babies. i am so rubbish at googling though and havent really found any info on why it could be bigger than average. ill get my scan pic on here later x

Mine were non identicals so I didnt experience this but I went for a scan at 6 weeks and there was only one baby but two sacs.. went back at 8 weeks and there was two babies x

Did not have my scan until 9 weeks, and there were clearly two babies, and two sacs..Sorry I cant be of more help. Do they have you scheduled for another scan?

im_mi · Feb 19th, 2010, 16:12 PM

Nah, well not until the 12 week scan. I mean, the only thing that made me wonder was that i have had bad morning sickness this time whereas with my son i didnt get it at all. But then it could be down to me possibly having a girl this time i guess? I was just curious because of the big sac

thanks anyway girls! xx

I didnt have any morning sickness with the twins! x

Kitty23 · Feb 20th, 2010, 06:28 AM

ooh it will be exciting to see if you are having twins lol. I had hyperemesis with these two

fingers crossed I don't get it next time lol xxx

im_mi · Feb 20th, 2010, 06:56 AM

hyperemesis? you poor thing!

the morning sickness i have had has been fairly mild in comparison to what some people have to go through and its still making my life a misery, so you have my utmost sympathy!! Has it started to ease off some now? a friend of mine had it with both of her pregnancies and ended up being hospitalised several times

Kitty23 · Feb 21st, 2010, 19:04 PM

I have sympathy for you to lol, being sick is just pants lol. And nope it hasnt eased off, I'm just accepting it will probably only stop when they are born lol. Yup been in hospital 4 times I think now lol. Oh the joys of pregnancy eh!

Will you be having another scan soon? xxx
