In the first week of October I had an ultrasound to see if my pregnancy was viable. My doctor did not see anything on the ultrasound but an empty sac. I was so sad. My bloodwork had come back with great numbers but the ultrasound was suggesting something different. She sent me over to a specialist to have another ultrasound with a better machine worried that something might be wrong. They did an ultrasound and were not allowed to tell me what they found.
I was a nervous wreck all day crying on and off thinking I had lost another baby. That night, I made Gerry call the doctor's office and get the results because I could not wait any longer. He sounded surprised on the phone but I was having a mini meltdown in the corner and didn't really pay attention. When he got off the phone he was all smiles. He told me that the ultrasound had revealed TWO sacs, one with a beautiful heartbeat and one that was empty. Although the doctor expected I would miscarry the empty sac I had one healthy little baby in there!
I went back in a week later on October 11 to see if the empty sac had passed yet. How surprised was I when I saw this....
Twins!
Although I was supposed to be 8 weeks we had TWO little beans with heartbeats measuring 6 weeks 2 days. We were so excited! We told our parents that night and could hardly contain ourselves.
I had some great doctors who helped take care of me, our babies and my anxiety and we safely made it out of the scary first trimester!
