Was my boy meant to be a twin

[cantshakethis]

My son is about to turn 1

When I was 10 weeks pregnant I had a bleed and the scan showed something "floating" inside me. They said they think it was another sac and to have it investigated at my next scan

My next scan was fine and they couldn't see anything so they dissmissed it. My doctor wasn't happy and said it needs to be looked into but nothing was done and I have since changed doctors surgeries.

I didn't really think too much about this but my sister has just announced she is pregnant with twins and it has got me really feeling upset that my DS was meant to be a twin

I really want to speak to my doctor about this but I don't know if I am being silly and it doesn't matter.
I don't really know why I'm posting. I just have no one in real life who I can share my upset with

It could have been anything OP. Haematomas are really common in early pregnancy - they are little clots/blood filled sacs in the womb which can cause bleeds. I’ve had them in both pregnancies and they had resolved (ie disappeared) after the bleeds by the time of the next scan. My understanding of vanishing twin pregnancies (where one twin is lost early on) is that it is usually fully absorbed by the body without any bleeding.

I don’t think there’s anything anyone could do now to find out one way or the other, so if I were you I’d put it behind you and be happy with the lovely son you have.

Thank you so much for your reply. That is exactly what I needed to here. I had no idea about what you just described, and that it was even a thing!
