I went to the Dr. today. She seemed as shocked as I was about twins. She kept wondering if she had missed anything but there truly hadnt been any obvious signs. At my last appointment I was 16 weeks and measured 16 weeks. This time, however, I am 20 weeks and was measuring 27 weeks! She could find heartbeats on both sides of my stomach but it was really hard to tell if it was the same one or different. The rate was around 150. My weight gain is rising well at already 23 pounds!! When I was at my appointment the ultrasound results hadn't come in yet. The Dr. just phoned me to let me know that results had come in. Definite twin pregnancy, no abnormalities present and both babies measuring well. She did, however say that they couldn't tell if there were two placentas or not. I guess they are quite close together. Definitely two sacks. In my research, I have also discovered that twins can have two sacks and still be identical so we may have to wait until the babies are born before we know if they are fraternal or identical. I have been referred to the OB and will find out from him when I go for my next ultrasound and how he wants to proceed with the prenatal care.
It all sounds so surreal to me! Does it feel that way to you too? Very exciting! Glad that you are feeling well and that the babies are looking good!!! Hope you are getting a lot of rest.
