I'm not having A baby....
I'm having a pair of babies!
Had an u/s this morning and there are two babies in there! Which explains why my hCG levels were a bit high early on, but doesn't explain why my 6 week scan showed only one baby! Also explains the ultra bad morning sickness!
They are sharing an amniotc sac but have separate gestational sacs and placentas and we saw them both wriggling and squirming around in there. Will post pics when I pic them up later today (had to wait for the doctor to write the report). They did an external and an internal and some of the pics are really clear.
Am freaking out big time! Haven't told DP yet coz he picked today of all days to leave his cell phone at home! I rang his work and asked them to call him up on the RT to ring me ASAP!

Sorry - I didn't mean to freak you all out with the title of the post - I was trying to emphasise the "A" but I don't think I did a very good job
Just organising dinner, but I have the scan pics and they are so cute - will add them later tonight!

Thanks I never thought of it like that Mel, but you're right! I did say to the sonographer tho that I wonder if these babies are the reason I lost our angel baby - they were meant to be? But I am freaking out even more at how much higher risk twins are!
And now for a pic...
They were measuring one of the twins in this pic but you can see them both VERY clearly!

Wow thanks Ally! I spent ages trying to figure out how to scan it in so you could actually see something. Ended up scanning it with the scanner cover open so that the light went straight thru.

We're doing ok I think. Will know for sure later today when I have my 12wk NT scan. I thought I was so cool, calm and collected about it, but then last night I had two freaky as dreams about the scan which make me think I am not as calm as I'd like to be....
I'm feeling a lot better (another reason to worry lol!), much less tired and even tho I am still throwing up every morning when I get up, after that I feel ok, not 100% but way better, for the rest of the day.

Well the 12 week scan was all good, both babies are low risk for Downs, and both looked healthy, they were jumping and kicking around in there. Twin A was a bit of a ratbag and wouldn't keep still for the actual NT measurement - must take after the father!
Here's some pics, they're not too clear, and I don't know why the sizes are up the chute - I scanned them all the same size. If anyone feels the urge to fix them go ahead!
The babies together... (apparently they are getting too big to get a clear pic of them side by side)
Twin A...
Twin B...
