I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve by posting - maybe just some perspective, advice or anyone who has experience.
I am 7 weeks pregnant and last week had a day of bleeding. I had an appointment on Monday for a scan to see if everything was ok.
to my relief everything is fine and I feel so blessed. However I was shocked to hear there were 2 babies. The sonographer did not say much other than it looks like it is an egg that has split and it appears there may be 2 placentas. She said it is very early but at that time they were measuring similar in size.
after leaving I stupidly googled twin pregnancy. Only to find a statistic that said it is estimated that around 12% of pregnancies start as twins but go undetected as by 12 weeks there is only 1 baby left. And that only 1.1% actually have twins. 36% of women with twins experience the loss of one.
I feel so relieved to have gone and had baby checked but at the same time feel I wish I hadn’t of been told that there were 2. If I hadn’t of known I would be living in ignorance.
I know feel that for the next 5 weeks until my scan I’m living the unknown. I know that’s the case for any pregnancy but the thought of having no signs and turning up to the next scan to be told one has vanished is totally freaking me out. I feel so anxious.
