Not for me! I'm editing a book in which a character is pregnant and I'd like to check that the author is being accurate ...
If anyone can help me, I'd be soo grateful!
The character has an ultrasound scan at 7 weeks, where the sonographer takes 10 mins to spot two 'flickers'. Sonographer says she can't say with accuracy when the twins are due/how many weeks along she is.
Sonographer uses a doppler - is this the right name for the hand-held scanner? I thought a doppler just checked heartbeat?
She also does a vaginal exam. What for?
Bump: when did you first have a bump with a twin pregnancy? And how big was your bump at 7, 12 and 20 weeks?
Symptoms: when were your first symptoms? When did morning sickness start? The character finds out she's pg at about 6 weeks, but she's had no symptoms up to now.
When can you tell the sex of a twin baby?
If you had idential twins sharing a placenta, did you have a scan every 2 weeks to check their growht?
Thank you all so much. I am researching this online too , but it really helps to read actual people's experiences!
