Hey Andie78 That's nice to hear! I already have 3 boys, the eldest with down syndrome, so the thought of multiples is scary
Guess I will find out tomorrow... I'll let you know. Thanks!!

Hi just wanted to say good luck for tomorrow.

HCG with Multiples can be really misleading as well so tomorrow you will have peace of mind knowing how many you are carrying. When I had my HCG tested with DD at 16dpo is was 305 and with my twin pregnancy also at 16dpo the HCG was 351 (so not much difference so no idea how many we were carrying).

Will your OB be doing a Amnio for you later on to check for Downs (seeing you already have a downs child) or is he not going to worry - only reason I say this is because high HCG level could also be an indicator of Downs Syndrome. I don't want to scare you but will be interesting to see how you go tomorrow.

Fingers crossed all is pefect and however many you have in there it is amazing how you learn to manage - a friend told me when I was pregnant with my twins that "People who are blessed with twins are the ones who can handle them" same goes for HOM (Higher Order Multiples) as well
