Morning - thanks for all your congrats.I think it's finally starting to sink in although I still feel like a fly on the wall iykwim .
I will tell you the story........
I had to have an internal scan as I'm only 8 weeks. The sonographer found the baby easily and told me there was nothing to worry about as there was a lovely strong heartbeat. She said she was going to go arond to the side to get a better look and then said 'oh my goodness, there's another one'. DH went white!!! I started crying. It was just such a shock. Anyway, 2 little heartbeats!!! They called for a second opinion as they wanted to work out what sort of twins there are. They are identical and sharing one placenta. They have classed me as a high risk pregnancy a)because there are two b)because they are sharing a placenta and c)becasue of my history of miscarriage.
DH and I are so happy but just very shocked. There is NO history of twins in our family and guess what - my sis is also carrying twins!!!!!!!!! 1 week behind me. She was on clomid so there was always a chance of multiple babies for her. My mum is shocked and imagining how she will cope with both daughters having twins at almost exactly the same time.
I'm elated but also being cautious with my feelings as I know it's very early days. Can't help thinking about double buggies though!!!!
We've not said a word to DD as we told her last time we were pregnant and then had to try to expalin that the baby had gone to live with the angels. I can't break her heart again so we will wait till the 12 week scan and then hopefully be able to tell that she will have 2 babies to play/help mummy with.
We're already worrying about money and my job etc (i.e. will I be going back to work or will childcare costs rule that out). We live in a two bed house so that may be a problem if they are boys. DD's room is a big double so all girls could happlily sleep in one room. There are all these things going around my head but I think I just need to relax and let everything fall in to place.
