    There is always a chance...i was told only one baby today until the very end when she caught a glimpse of the second sac...she almost missed it, so if you are concerned defintiely ask for another scan.....or if you are having a Nuchal scan it should get picked up then.

    I was told I was having one at my 7 week scan but when my OB did a scan in the eighth week, he found two. He said he almost missed it but happened to get them both at the same time. I am now 12 weeks and it is really obvious on the scan!

    I am having another ultrasound in a few days so I will find out for sure then. I just wanted to hear if it did happen to people - and i guess it does as you girls have shown!

    Will be interested to see what happens with my ultrasound - not sure how we'd cope with two more but i'll worry about that when and if it happens

    A girl in my antenatal aqua aerobics class is pregnant with twins and she didn't find out until a scan at 16 weeks! The earlier scan(s) only showed one bubba so she said it was a bit of a random shock!

    I guess it makes sense because can't two babies share the one sack? Also as cool as ultra sounds are they don't always pick up EVERYTHING! How exciting!!! OR nerve-wracking? Either way tell us when you know!

    a girl I know well was told only one at a 6 and 8 week scans (she was having issues) but then at the 12 week she got the surprise of her life)
