Can't answer your question, as I don't have twins! Just wanted to wish you all the best! I'd love to have twins!

I had my first scan at 6weeks on the dot by lmp. One twin was measuring on 6w, the second twin 5w5d, at this scan the twin that was measuring the dday behind, the sonographer couldnt get a reading of the heartbeat. Sometimes when she pushed on my belly a certain way you could see a heartbeatbut you couldnt see what was the sac what was the baby so no way of getting the reading. The sonographer guess the heartbeat was only 8-90 beats per minute at a guess but she thought it was just too early so I had another scan in 5days time.

At the second scan 5days later he babies were measuring 6w3d and 6w2d....this was nothing to worry about, scans can always be out. Both he babies had obviously grown, even though they both still obviously looked like peanuts it was aazing to see first hand the difference in just 5days! Both their heartbeats were easy to see and both around the 130 mark.

Sorry for the long story, I was just hinking myself I always like the long story and the most experiences I can get so thought I would share. I have been thinking of your today and really hope your scan shows 2 happy healthy babies!

Oh and the other thing I wanted to add was when she first started the scan we immediately saw one sac and it took a little while to see the second sac even though our twins were immediately next to each other so if that happens to you don't think it means there is definitely only one

I had my first scan at 7 weeks and it was so obvious that it was twins! Well, obvious to DH and the guy doing the scan - I took a little bit longer to work it out but clicked when DH started laughing. It was a heart stopping but amazing moment! We had discussed it being twins but never thought it would happen!
Good luck

How did the scan go JBM?

I have heard of twins not even picked up on 36 week scans. Mind you they weren't specifically looking for them either like you are. I hope you see two strong little heart beats

H My Mum found out she was having twins when she gave birth to one baby and then heard the doctor say "holy crap there is another baby in there - pass the forceps!" Mum gave an almighty push and out popped the surpirse baby.!

Same thing happened to my grandmother with my aunt and uncle and my husbands grandmother with his uncles.
