Just wondering if anyone who has been through similar can shed some positive experiences. I’m feeling super negative about it at all the moment but I’m interested in seeing if this has the possibility to work out.
I’m 8 weeks + 4 days pregnant. I don’t have many early pregnancy symptoms and had a tiny bit of spotting so I mentioned this to my midwife and she referred me to the EPAU. I had a scan yesterday and they found two gestational sacs but of contrasting sizes, the biggest measuring about 6 weeks. They couldn’t detect the foetal pole in either so obviously haven’t confirmed viability. I’m currently in the 2 week waiting game window and will be rescanned in 2 weeks to see if they have grown anymore and if not obviously it won’t have worked out.
I had a private early scan with my DD, now 3, when I was 7 weeks pregnant and they found her straight away but measured her at around 6 weeks so I do have this in the back of my mind. If there are two babies, would this affect the rate of which they grow? I’m doubtful of the second smaller one getting any bigger but not sure if it would affect anything with it being there in the first place. I know I should have asked this yesterday but I’ve only thought about it now that my mind has been on overdrive. The doctor did say she’s seen twin pregnancies progress with similar ultrasounds at this stage but I’m really not seeing how this could be possible right now. My mam also was pregnant with twins but miscarried both so maybe we just aren’t destined to have them in our family. I’m hoping somebody could share some of their experiences, please, I’d be really grateful.
