We went into our appointment today excited and nervous.
I wasn't expecting an ultrasound but she said she will do a quick one to check for the heartbeat. Well she found the heartbeat and then said she saw something else as well. Turns out we are having TWINS!!!!
Totally unexpected, never thought in a million years we would be having twins! So needless to say we were a little overwhelmed by the news but are slowly but surely taking it all in.
We've been schedule to go to a radiologist tomorrow for a dating u/s and she said we will probably get some better pics from that. I'm going to need to be seen every 2 weeks for the first two trimesters instead of monthly so will be a lot of appointments in my futrue, so I think I'm going to tell my boss the news tomorrow.
Congrats! I cried for 4 days when I found out. Shock and scared took over but I learned to embrace it and each ultrasound I fall more in love.
So glad to read your response, we will have to compare notes the next few months! Part of me feels like it kind of took away some of the joy of seeing the heartbeat and u/s as we are now so completely shocked and overwhelmed. I'm looking forward to tomorrows u/s to get a better look at them. Today one was bouncing all over and the other was calm, now I'm curious to see how they behave tomorrow!
I read "When you're expecting Twins triplets or quads". Take some of it with a grain of salt but there is a chapter that said when you find out you're having multiples you go thru the stages of grief. It made total sense and helped me realize my feelings were valid. We are so blessed but I was terrified. It got better though.
I also bought Mothering Multiplies bc it was recommended in another book. Havent started yet though.

Thanks for the book recs, super helpful as we know nothing about twins!!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Whoa! That would be a shock! Congratulations!! My husband was so bummed when the midwife told us "there's only one in there". I have no idea why he thought we might have twins, but apparently it has been a secret hope of his. Lol.
