On December 6th 2012 I had my Ultrasound. It was not a good experience. First I arrive for my appointment and they had me down for an earlier time. Luckily they squeezed me in anyways. When I got called back the tech got to work. She was having a hard time seeing the baby because I have a retroverted uterus, so she decided to do the Ultrasound trans vaginal. To which she could see absolutely nothing. I was starting to get annoyed because I have 2 other children and they have never had a hard time getting the babies before, not to mention she was killing me. So once again she went back to doing the Ultrasound on the belly. After all that she turns to me and says "OK your Dr. should get the results by Friday or Monday" and turns to leave. I didn't get to see the baby, nor did she tell me if the baby was OK or anything.
Thankfully my Hubby was with me so I kept asking him did you see the baby? Did it look OK? He did tell me the baby looked fine, but that he thought he might have seen to. I told him he was crazy and it was probably just an air bubble or something!
Fast forward to my Dr appt December 17th. I am in the exam room and my OB walks in and greets me. She has all her records electronically so she was opening up her laptop to get to my records and says to me "I think we talked about the twin pregnancy didn't we"?! I kinda looked at her in a strange way because she said it so weird. I told her yes we did talk about how with twins some people experience more morning sickness. She gave me this funny look and asked me if I got the results of the Ultrasound. I told her how the tech didn't even show me the baby and that she didn't tell me anything. So she said lets go over the results. She opened up the Ultrasound and started to read the results of how I was 7wks pregnant with TWINS.
Needless to say I was in shock through the whole appt. I kept saying, wait twins, I am having twins?
As soon as I left the office I called my Husband and he was just laughing. He was so excited when I got home. He called everyone in his family to share the news.
So my OB told me I would be getting an Ultrasound once a month because twin pregnancies are higher risk. She sent me to a Perinatologist at which I had an appt at 12 wks to check for chromosomal issues with blood work and ultrasound.
