We're having TWINS! - July 9, 2009

We returned to the hospital for another ultrasound and after discussion between a couple of doctors about what they were looking at we were told that we will be having TWINS! It took a little while for the shock to sink in but before it could we were given a lot of information that was a little harder to absorb. The heart beats of the twins are Twin A: 180 and Twin B: 173, which is great. They are also measuring very close Twin A at 8 weeks and 4 days and Twin B at 8 weeks and 5 days. However, the twins are what they call monoamniotic twins. This means that they share the same amniotic sac and a barrier is not yet visible between them. We were told that they are not 100% sure that the twins are not conjoined. Numerous risks surround this pregnancy. We scheduled another appointment for an ultrasound on Monday, July 20th.
