Hi there -

This is my first posting ever on a multiples message board. 
I am 10 1/2 weeks pg with twins (found out at a 7 wk
appointment via u/s.)  I was looking at my u/s on my computer
and there looks to be 3 sacs.  The twins are the two on the
left.  At the last minute my doc said she'd get a better
picture and changed positions, then printed out the u/s pic
and gave to me but never looked at it herself.  I'm now going
crazy.  My mom called to say she sees three -I am now looking
closer and that is what I see!  I read that sometimes the
bladder can appear as a dark spot and fool you, but I see a
fetus in that "dark spot" on the right.  My doc
says she could have missed it because it was an early
appointment and she focused on the two sacs close together. 
Although my husband and I keep thinking...surely she couldn't
have missed the third if it was that obvious - there must be
an explanation.  Anyway, 6 long days until my next
appointment - would love an opinion from any of you.  I'll
have to let you know what happens.  I am going pretty crazy. 
This is my husbands and my first - we have conceived
naturally, I was on b/c for 15 years until 3 mos ago.  My
side has 4 sets of twins (his side has five).  Any opinions
would help me get through the next few days. :)

Sincerely,

Betsy

I've got no medical background whatsoever but that sure as
heck looks like 3 babies to me.  That u/s pic looks like mine
from about that time.  Let me tell you at about 7-8 weeks when
the RE first saw three sacs (1 good looking, 1 so-so, and 1
mis-shapen, elongated not-real-sure-what-it-is spot) he said
"I can almost guarantee you 90-95% chance of having one
healthy baby out of this pregnancy.  Maybe....just maybe you
might have twins.  But you won't have triplets."

Ha!  My fat, healthy, funny, and LOUD trio are 6.5 months old
now.  Whether you have 2 or 3 in there....CONGRATS!!!
