[quote="babyrae"]i actually had about 2 or 3 vaginal ultrasounds when I was having a miscarriage.


But arent u onyl like 7 1/2 weeks?? They cant tell twins that early

yes they can tell that early, cause you can have two sacs in there. And two placentas. Smile

and another thing I had an u/s done when I miscarried. So they do do them....

Yea, thats true. A lot of ppl dont find out until they are farther along, so wendy, most likely they dont find out in the early weeks that they are having twins.

But it is possible to know you're having twins at 7.5 weeks. Smile

Doesn't work.

Yes. We know that you can tell thru ultrasound but we were talking about listening to the heartbeat at 7.5wks.

Yeah, my doctor wouldn't even get the doplar when I first went there at like 8 weeks pregnant because she didn't think we'd get anything yet.

I also had to have one of those vaginal ultrasound, thats when they found out my cervix was thinning out and I was dialating at 31 weeks! It sucked Sad

They had to fly me out of my hometown because we don't have a nicu here. I live in small town in alaska, so they flew me to anchorage and I went into premature labor twice there and they had to hook me up to the iv and all that good stuff, then they sent me home when I was 36 weeks, and I had my baby girl at 38 weeks (november 5th)

Um just my input but with a vaginal ultrasound they can detect a pregnancy as soon as the gestational sack has developed, that is even b4 a heart beat can be detected......... Vaginal ultrasound gives the tech a clearer veiw of what is happening inside the womb, there for a heart beat can be detected earlier then with the conventional form of ultrasound, and a diagnosis of twins would be possible by the presance of two fetal gestational sacks and/ or heart beats....... Other wise often missed with the "normal" tummy ultrasound at such a young age.

Actually you guys believe it or not when I as miscarrying the second day when I wen to the er they did they same type of ultrasound on me too. They put a like a plastic bag over the tube to prevent from blood getting on it and they did and ultrasound like that on me too. So pls dont assume shes just lying because it doesnt seem logical....I know shes probably not lying cuz I had the same one done on me while I was miscarrying. It just gives a better up close pic of everything. Although I could not see the baby since it was already gone.. But anyways they do those kind of ultrasounds even while someones miscarrying.... I know its kinda gross but a docs gotta do what they gotta do lol..Wink
