What????? Twins???

On January 9th, I had a followup appt with my fertility doctor. It was our last appointment together and he wanted to do the last scan at the Fremont Location so we can get some 3D images of our child.

At the beginning of our scan, he gave us some unexpecting news about our child. He told us that we were having twins. My husband was staying behind our doctor and he just look shocked. I questioned our doctor on how this could’ve happened since we only had one embryo. He said that there are cases like our where the embryo actually splits after implantation but that only happens less than 3%. 

With concerns, he quickly went to the MFM (maternal fetal medicine) to book us an appt so we can see if the twins are going to be mono mono twins (where the twins are sharing the same placenta and anomatic sac) or conjoined twins.

During the MFM appt, the ultrasound tech was able to do a stress test with the babies to see if they were conjoined. It was confirmed that they were not conjoined because one of the babies actually flipped. 

The mfm doctor wanted to see me the next following week.
