Hi ladies! I just found out that I'm having identical twins!!!!! I'm still in shock!
Baby A is measuring 5 weeks 6 days. We saw a heart beat! Baby B is smaller. We did not see a heartbeat but we are hoping it's just too early to see the heartbeat. I'm praying the babies are ok. My due date changed to 8/6/2013. Please pray for my babies!

Whoa Sunflower that is awesome news! Congrats honey. My bff is due any day now and she is having twin boys. One of her babies is 3 days behind so that is typical. I wouldn't worry too much as I am sure you will be seeing a specialist and have PLENTY of appointments. Next time you go you will surely see both of those babies hearts beating. So thrilled for you love.

jadis and dreamingpink I hear you!! I swing between wanting to know the gender right now and other times I think I might even wait until the baby arrives to try and avoid that terrible GD but then again I think being prepared would be better. I had my scan yesterday nearly 10 weeks and after studying the US I am convinced I see a upward facing forked nub and the skull is quite boyish not very rounded at the front. Also i have a low lying placenta which is the cause of the spotting i had around the 6th and 9th week which from reading around, seems to happen more often to mums carrying boys AND I had crazy itchy legs at the beginning, which I also read happens more often to women carrying boys....all in all hope is slowly dwindling and I am absolutely dreading my next scan in jan. I also talk mostly about my desire for a daughter here and also to two close friends otherwise no one else. I feel it is a totally under estimated thing and GD is really quite taboo...mostly people say...the main thing is the baby is healthy which is of course true and the sadness and disappointment is not about the son you are having but about the girl you might never have. There was a recent cause of an irish lady in ireland who had two sons and then got pregnant again and it turned out to be twin boys. She went missing in late pregnancy and was found....she had committed suicide and it transpired that she couldn't face the prospect of never having a daughter. Absolutely terrible and tragic story but GD can often be totally socially unacceptable and women are forced to suffer in silence for fear of being misunderstood or public retribution....thank God for this website!!!

Hi Sunflower, huge congrats on the babies. Twins are soooooo cute. Don't worry too much about the heart beat of baby b, i had a scan with my ds2 at 6 weeks and they couldn't find a heart beat then, they weren't at all bothered as they said he was just to early in gestation for it to be detected and he was fine

Ps have you posted your sway hunny?

[heidih1977]

bis conrgats sunflower....sending you lots of positive thoughts for the two babies! Everything will be fine so try not to worry too much...I know easier said than done.

Had my 15 week doctor's appt today. Finally got the hear the heart beat for the first time. As soon as she touched the doppler to my tummy she found it lol that is why I can feel baby so early she said! She's popped right out!!! The heart beat was 147. So crossing fingers that OWT is super debunked haha. So I have the 3D ultrasound Jan 3rd at 18+3, then Jan 10th my regular hospital scan at 19+3 so hopefully both techs say the same gender!! Hope everyone else is feeling well and doing great!

cvd that is so exciting that you were able to hear Aubree's heartbeat! Yeah I can tell you that the OWT is just that. When I went on Tuesday my baby's hr was 154 but the first time it was in the 160's. I think it has to do with what the bambino is doing at the time. January is going to come so fast. Can't wait!!!

Given Sunflower's adjusted due date, it appears she conceived later then originally though so her bfp was probably achieved a lot earlier then the 14dpo she thought it was. Would have been more like 8-9dpo by the sound of it.

But in saying that, given the fact that she has identical twins on board, she will probably deliver or have her babies much earlier then her EDD anyway. They tend to run out of room and can get their cords tangled etc. So her due date will probably be 4-6 weeks before her EDD anyway.

It's all very exciting!

Heidih, I too read about the poor lady who committed suicide as she was having twin boys. Such terrible news and so awful it would come to that. It made me cry. The other week I was so obsessed about the gender it was consuming me, pracitically crying already thinking it was a boy. I couldn't believe I was going through this already, at 5 weeks pg. Now I am feeling a lot better about it, I still really feel it is a boy and maybe I am coming to terms with it now, I don't know. I know it will be different though when I hear it for certain.
