Ok so lve had the early scan (7 weeks) because lve had previous problems. Scan went fine baby where it should be, correct size, good heart beat.

When l jokingly said to the lady scanning me 'oh so it is just the one then?' (both sides of family have twins!) she looked at me and said 'well actually l cant promise that its not - lve scanned you twice and can only definatelty see one but lm not 100% sure thats why l scanned twice so lm only going to say its one for now if its two they will show up on your 12wk scan'

Has anyone else had simular happen? l am very confused and just a bit worried - l know its early days but she must of had her suspicions to scan me twice - why wouldnt the second show up, could it have been hiding behind the other?

Has this happened to anyone else?

We had an empty sac at 6w then at 7w we were expecting bad news but instead saw two very clear blobs with heartbeats. There was no missing it. Not sure if that helps, I know early scans aren't always conclusive. Maybe twins in seperate sacs are harder to see at that stage.
