Had my scan yesterday and found out I'm having twins oOoOoOoO it explains a lot. I was too shocked to ask any questions of any use. My due date from the report is now nearly week earlier which makes me 13 +4 today. What happens next??? I vaguely remember her mentioning a twin clinic.

Congratulations. I have twin girls who are nearly 13. It was hard work when they were babies/toddlers but lots of fun. They're very close and great company for one another.

Ohhh congratulations, I've got twin too.....twins are great and don't let anyone tel you different.

Congratulations! Twins are hard work but such a blessing, so rewarding. You will be more closely monitored in your pregnancy past twenty weeks. Scans every two or four weeks depending on wether they are identical or fraternal.

TheNightIsDark · 13/12/2013 08:51

Congrats! Are they identical? I'm really rather jealous.

Congratulations, my twins are 3 Smile
You should have more scans and appointments than a singleton pregnancy. Even more if your having identical twins.
Good luck.

Forgot to add, she thinks she saw a very faint sac membrane around one of them but I'm not convinced

Congratulations :)

My twin girls are 14 months old (DCDA twins). You should see a consultant every 2-4 weeks depending on what type of twins you have. I was scanned fortnightly from 20 weeks and saw a consultant and hospital midwife after each scan. I also saw my surgery midwife every 4 weeks too so I was basically seen every two weeks. I was scanned weekly from 32 weeks.

neversleepagain · 13/12/2013 09:37

Oh and your due date will go out the window. My due date was 5/11 and they were born on 29/09.

silverangel · 13/12/2013 12:18

Congratulations! Did they tell you what type of twins they are? It's really important, if they are MC/DA or Mo-Mo you will need to be seen much more often. I was transferred from local hospital to local FMC as mine were MC/DA.

Join TAMBA, there is a wealth of info there.

Good luck!

Hi, thanks everyone. Thought I was coming out of shock until I got a phone call today from a mw with my next scan date. They want to see me early as they are identical!!! Not what the report from my scan says. The saga continues lol
