As most of you know last pregnancy was not an easy one for us. We knew this time would be challenging too, since I have incompetent cervix. We thought with a preventative cerclage things would be more in our favor and hopefully no bed rest. Well, I'm seven weeks today and have already had two ultrasounds and another one scheduled in less than two weeks now. This pregnancy already has it's own issues. First ultrasound identified a subchorionic hematoma, which is why I started bleeding. That ultrasound also showed one gestational sac but two yolk sacs and only one fetal pole, measuring 5 weeks 4 days.
They ordered my hcg levels checked and another ultrasound almost two weeks later. That ultrasound has confirmed Twins. Baby A now has a heartbeat,114, and measuring 6w6d . Baby B has no heartbeat and measuring 5w6d. Baby B could be a vanishing twin. They can't tell that's why we have to go back in two weeks - doc said baby B should either have a heartbeat or will have disappeared. We are okay with which ever God chooses. Twins would be exciting but my body might not be able to carry two. The good news is it is not our choice and we will be excited no matter which we are given.
My hcg levels were over 48,000 at 5 weeks. Super high and I've been beyond sick this time for weeks already - throwing-up, heart issues, body aches all day everyday. Doc said levels that high that fast can make you very sick. Poor Andrew barely has time to sleep. My mom and his
mom have already started helping out.
Oh the subchorionic hematoma is still there but small - so she's not worried about it right now and we are still on track for the cerclage to be placed at 12 weeks.
Two weeks and we will know more about Baby B :)
I hope all goes well!! I will keep you and Andrew in my thoughts! I just started a blog too, it's such a great idea to keep people up to date with ever changing pregnancy/baby details :) I'll be following ya!! www.babynonn.blogspot.com
