So I am pretty high risk until I hit viability. I've been fighting to get into the MFM's office to get my blood thinners, but they were all on vacation at once, and I had to wait FOREVER! I got my BFP almost 4 weeks ago for Pete's sake! Well, on 6/27 I was in the ER for URQ pain, unrelated to the pregnancy, but they did an u/s and told me I was 5w4d - which matched LMP. Wednesday, I was having lower right pelvic pains and I was instructed to go to the ER. I was hoping it wasn't a tubal, and I left with concerning news. My numbers weren't doubling every 48 hours, but instead every 58.9.
Plus, the baby measured 6w3d.
I'd already had my appt with the MFM scheduled for today, and I was expecting bad news. I went into the office and they weren't going to do a scan since I'd just had one two days ago. But I told the peri I was concerned based on the measurement differences from the 6/27 scan and the 7/11 scan. So he said he'd check it out, not to worry. The tech was doing the belly scan while he was talking to me on the other side of the room. She says "We're gonna do a transvaginal so we can get a better look since you're still pretty early" so I said ok. So they come back and after a minute, I was watching and the peri says "So what do you see?" and my eyes got HUGE!!!!!!!! "REALLY????" And they both laughed and nodded their heads.
TWO babies measure 6w5d, so my edd is officially 3/3/13! I guess the first scan had zero merit because they only gave me that date based on my LMP, not on the growth. The other scan was only to check for a tubal pregnancy and the tech didn't look at the baby/uterus part either, so he said don't even fret over those. Why my numbers weren't raising, I'm not sure. But he said everything looks great! One HB was 119, the other was 130!
I didn't have a phone since Jolly Green took it to work, so when I walked in the house, my friend who was babysitting said "I'm scared" and I just gave her the pic. She says "Tell me there's one!" and I shook my head. We both started crying, and at that exact moment, Jolly Green walked in and he was terrified because I was crying. I showed him the pic and he lights up and says "So everything's OK??!" and I was like "There's TWO! THere's Two!!!" and he just said OMG Babe, really?! And we hugged and I cried more and my friend was crying and he called his mom and she's stoked!!! And I'm about to cry again! I have said for a while that I was only going through one more pregnancy but was sad because I'd wanted six kids, and I'd hoped I'd get two at once - so YES this is very very exciting news for me! He'd always said he'd poop bricks if it were two, but he said "You know how you'd asked me if I was worried. Well, this just went from worried to so excited!" ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm still in shock and I can not believe it.
I never in a million years thought I would actually have twins!!!!
I still expect to deliver in February, and I still intend on having a homebirth!
