Early scans - is one twin always out of focus?

Question

I'm not worried, just for the record.

Had another scan today (one baby measuring 8+2 and the other measuring 8+4) and saw both babies and both heartbeats. But we can only ever look at one baby at a time, because when the wand is focused on one the other disappears.

The sonographer says it's just the way the babies are positioned - but I only ever get scan photos of one twin in focus and one out of focus. (See, it looks almost like an empty sac but we saw baby fine, you can just about make him/her out at the bottom of the sac)

Will I get two photos (one of each baby) when they're bigger? Or will they both be in focus by then?

Answer

They have to move the wand around more to try and get both in the same pic but especially with TV ultrasound as they get bigger they can't get both.

6w can clearly see both, 8 wk dr just did quick scan for measurements so no pics of both 10w quick check and got both.  By 12w scan he couldn't get both we tried lol

Answer

Early on, one always looked a bit bigger, they said it was just the angle.

Answer

You should get 2 pics.  After my 2nd scan at 11 weeks they were too big to fit on the screen together.

Answer

My 8 week scan (we only seen one baby 😐) and the bottom is my 11 week "hey, you're having twins scan!")

Answer

Mine were the same way already stubborn  lol you'll get two pics
