I went in thinking they would be doing an ultrasound. I was so excited! It was a bit disappointing to find out that I have to wait until I am 20 weeks to have an ultrasound done. She doesn't see any sense in "burdening" the health care system with ultrasounds that are just to see a blob. Whatever. (I was crushed). Then she did an internal, Apparently I look pretty good inside (ewww) but then the bleeding started again, she said I have NOTHING to worry about as far as the bleeding goes. I have a sensitive cervix, and she said I am likely to bleed all through my pregnancy. Then onto the Doppler to hear the heartbeat!!! Yay I was so excited.. She found it almost right away listened for about 10 beats then stopped and asked me if we have a history of twins in our families. I told her Chris does... She commented that she was hearing "an echo" and that rather than have me come back at 20 weeks she wants me back at 16 and she will requisition the ultrasound then. She said sometimes the echo can happen because of the position but she said there may be a possibility of twins... The colour drained from my face...
OMG- Now I have to wait another month with that on my mind...
The bottom line is that the baby(ies) doing fine the heart beat was 169 which she said was nice and strong. This jelly tot is sticking around!

How exciting! Oh my, waiting a month to find out if it's two..what torture! LOL Glad everything went ok!
ReplyDeleteWonderful News.... I was wondering how things were going.....
ReplyDeleteJust FYI, "you" inherit the ability to have twins, not your husband. When I was pregnant, they also thought I may be having twins and I had concern over that because my father-in-law was a twin and my dad has twin brothers but they said I would inherit it from my mom and her mom, etc.
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is going good.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that everything went well at the appointment! Wow! Twins?! I think my color would drain too from my face...LOL.
ReplyDeleteSee all that worry for nothing. Everything happens as it should. "twins" maybe you are getting more than you bargained for. Unable then MORE than able. Your family completed in one package, couldn't be all bad??? then again. they arn't 2 yet!lol
ReplyDeleteWow!!! What news!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear the update!!!!!
Oh my gosh! She should have done an ultrasound. I can't believe she said that and now you have to wait a month.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to find out its sex?
Oh my heck....that is very exciting! That is just torture to make you wait a month after giving you that kind of information. I hope the time passes quickly.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I noticed at the Royal Alex when I had Jillian was there seemed to be ALOT of pictures of multiple births on their picture boards along the hallways?? Hmmmmm maybe it is something in the water?
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. I have been back to Wpg for a visit and just caught up. I'm so sorry to hear things have been rough on your son. We are definately fortunate to have my Aunt living here, it definately helped make the transition of moving somewhat easier. Hugs to you guys, I hope things work out.
I am so behind and just now catching up. I have been reading but was unable to comment!
ReplyDeleteNow I can tell you how worried I was about you and now, it seems I should
give you a hug of happiness!
