Hi everyone. I'm freaking out! Any advice would be much appreciated.
I had an early scan today (7 weeks) and there were TWO in there. I really wasn't expecting it! Two heartbeats and both the expected size.
I'm 39 and have a low ovarian reserve, so wasn't expecting to get pregnant... let alone with two.
I'm okay with the thought of two babies, but am TERRIFIED of the extra risks (for them and for me).
Had my first child three years ago and it was straightforward (although the birth was a c-section at nearly 42 weeks). She was a very large baby (literally twice the weight of our friend's baby, born the same day). So it appears I have 'form' for carrying extra weight. But I don't know if this is a good thing!?
