Twins? The answer is... not what we expected.

Many people have wondered, including us...are we expecting twins? Well the doctor visit did not go how I rehearsed it in my mind. We listened to the heartbeat, which was a strong 160 beats per min. Which is perfect. That is what Sarah had. I asked the doctor if there was only one heartbeat and she said yes. I told her on the ultrasound they saw another flutter and thought that it might be twins. She read my ultrasound report and they never mentioned the possibility of another baby. So the answer is only one baby. However, there is a small internal bleed which was probably the flutter they saw. In other words, the baby is starting to pull away from the wall. So I am at high risk for a miscarriage. I have been having cramps and sharp stabbing pains, but I kind of just thought it was all in my head. I didn't realize how serious that could be. I didn't experience that with Sarah and I just thought maybe it was because this is my second child. So now I am not allowed to lift anything heavy, including Sarah, which has been the biggest challenge and rest. This was not what we were expecting to hear. It seems so ridiculous now to have worried about having twins and now we are praying that this baby will go full term and will be healthy. The good thing is the heartbeat is strong and I have not had any spotting. So we will just keep praying that everything will turn out fine.
