2nd pregnancy, we're having twins!

Today was our first ultrasound. I have been waiting WEEKS to finally meet our little baby! It is also my husbands birthday, so we knew it was going to be an exciting day. I had joked with my OB prior to the scan that I was hoping to see only one baby, not two. On my moms side of the family, twins happen but it skips every 3 generations, which would be my generation. I have a younger sister so I have always been hopefuly SHE would end up with the twins for the family. Welp! Definitely twins for us! We currently have a daughter, she will be 3 years old next month and we are so excited to see her be a big sister! Cannot wait to see what our journey looks like over the next 6 months! Wish us well please

Congratulations I am also having twins for my second pregnancy. I was shocked but I shouldn’t be because I’m a twin and so was my mother 😂

I’m 6 weeks today twins?

So in 6 weeks today.This is my 7th pregnancy. I have shown sooner with all my kids. Even if I suck in my belly I still have a bump. Wondering if twins?

No. It doesn’t mean twins. You’re bloated.

32 weeks with twins

I’m 32 weeks with my twins and am worrying I won’t make it to my scheduled 37 week c-section. How many of you went past 34 weeks with your Mono/Di twins

Twins!

After 3 kids and 3 miscarriages hubby and I decided to try for one more again. Ended up with 2 sweet babes! So nervous as we never thought we’d be a family with 5 kids. Excited for these babies and praying everything goes smooth from here on out. 7 weeks yesterday. Anyone else try for the last baby and up with two? How are you feeling?

Me too! #4 turned into number #4 and #5. 😅 Due in April.

12w genetic tests

I hear they are less accurate for twins and multiples. Is this just the blood draw portion that is less accurate or will the ultrasound information be less accurate as well? I was thinking the ultrasound might just be a lot longer cause there is more than one baby to scan? Any info from mamas who’ve done their genetic scans would be great.

I think it’s just the NIPT that could be less accurate. It just looks for male/female cells in your blood. My twins are identical so it’s hard to compare on accuracy as there was only one gender for both. Ultrasound definitely takes longer but is definitely a confirmation of any other method.

UPDATE - Twins at 39 weeks

*latest UPDATE*THEY’RE HERE! 39+1 natural birth. I am just so happy to have 2 happy healthy babies ❤️🥰Update #2:39 weeks today! Still no signs of babies coming! Possibly going to be induced tomorrow.

I’m currently 29 weeks with twin girls and I am struggling lol I have a almost 2 year old girl that keeps me on my toes so I’m exhausted. My doctor said we will plan to induce at 37 weeks (vaginally if Baby A is head down) since that is considered full term for a twin pregnancy. Wishing you a safe labor and delivery!

🌈 All Week 3 Line Progression / DPO 9 beta was 72 // could it be multiples?

Multiple mamas, would love your thoughts. After 6 early losses I am praying that this may 🌈 but I’m thinking it could actually be 🌈🌈 (!!)*these are all week 3 HPT results*On DPO 6, negative (a waste to test, I know)On DPO 8 (morning) I got my BFP and the line had darkened by the evening On DPO 9 my beta HCG was 72 (!)Today is DPO 12 and the test line is almost as dark as the control line!This is the earliest I’ve ever tested positive (all my losses weren’t + until DPO 14 or 15) and the line is darkening so fast.How many of you have experienced something similar? It would be so wonderful to be blessed with multiples after losing 6 😇 Thanks jn advance ❤️

I don’t know about twins, but I pray you get your rainbow baby/babies!

What are your thoughts?

I had an abdominal dating scan. The tech said it may be twins or a cyst. She was not skilled enough to get a heart beat on either. You can see the 2 photos below. The arrow is the forsure baby and circle is the one in question. Would love to know your thoughts or experiences.

Not sure but hoping for the best, hope you get updated soon 🤞🏻

32+2 delivery

My babies made their entrance into the world on 9/17/24 via c-section due to baby A being breech. As soon as I received my spinal, baby A’s placenta abrupted and it became an emergency c-section. Healing has been sloooow and painful, but I am feeling better every day. Both babies are required to stay in the NICU until at least 35 weeks, but they are doing great! Growing and thriving, and I can hardly wait for them to be home with my husband and me and our 5 & 7 year old children.JacobEvangeline

Vertical uterine cut

I’m pregnant with twins and my first c section was a vertical cut so this will be my 3rd c section I wanted to know if anybody else got pregnant with twins with a vertical uterine cut because I heard it was high risk and the uterus might rupture

Did you do the NIPT? It tells you. There’s almost no way to 100% confirm without genetics.

5 weeks?!

I’ve never shown this early before 🥴(Ignore the line on my stomach, I was wearing high waisted pants today lol)First ultrasound tomorrow so we’ll see if there’s more than one or not 🤞

Cramping at 5 weeks??

Do you cramp more with a multiple pregnancy than with a singleton?? I have my first ultrasound tomorrow at 5w2d (according to my LMP) so idk for sure yet.But this is my 4th pregnancy after 3 singletons and I’ve never cramped like this with them. Just wanting to ease my anxiety a bit I guess.This is all of my symptoms right now:Fatigue Increased appetite Peeing ALOT Bloating Moody af Cramping Sore nipplesCravings I’ve never had symptoms this early either.

Hey! Congratulations 🎉 Im not a doctor but im also expecting twins and I’ve had more frequent cramping than I ever did with my first pregnancy. I imagine it has to do with all the internal changes and my babies growing in there. My symptoms have also been so much stronger and came around earlier this time around. I think we’ll be okay! Sending all the good vibes your way.

Al

I’ve had an ultrasound every week from week 9 and I’m 26 weeks today

Possibility of twins??

I go for an ultrasound this Friday and based off my period I’d be 5w2d that day but prettyyyyyy sure I ovulated early as I had a blazing positive a week before my missed period and a dye stealer at 5 days before my missed period and then took one 2 days after my missed period and it stole ALL of the dye😅Will they be able to tell if its twins or not? Or will I need to wait for a few weeks to know for sure??

I gave birth 9/17 to my twins. I was only 32+2, but went into labor naturally. When I arrived at L&D I was 5cm but baby A was breech, so I had to have a C-section. As soon as I received my spinal block, I began heavily bleeding on the OR table due to a placental abruption from baby A. They had to get him out as quickly as possible, and they were only able to do so quickly because we had prepared for a C-section. It all happened very quickly, but they saved my baby boy. I have had 2 previous vaginal births, and I will say my recovery from C-section has not been enjoyable, but I would do it again because it was what was best for my babies. Say 2 of recovery was the hardest so far, as I wasn’t prepared for all the gas pain and continued uterine contractions. I had forgotten about those 😅 Both of my babies will remain in the NICU for at least a month, but they are doing well and growing stronger every day.
