I just got a call from my midwife. I starting bleeding a lot last week and went in for an ultrasound on thursday to diagnostic center (MRIs, ultrasounds, etc..). She found a strong heartbeat right away, gave me measurements and beats per minute, but told me she couldn't tell me more. At the end we flippenly asked, "just one right" because my DS keeps saying he's getting two, she said quickly, "well I thought maybe, but it was just the sac" She gives us a pic and it looks like two sacs (nothing like my singleton ultrasound pic) My DH think maybe vanishing twin and that caused the bleeding.
Fast forward to tonight and my midwife calls, she got the report. The bleed was caused by a Subchorionic Hemorrhage and since I read a ton on here, I'm not too freaked out. then she goes on to tell me there is more. The report says that there is "something" behind the baby. The report was not clear as to what they think it is and she is sounds somewhat annoyed with them and goes on to tell me it could be another small bleed, a fibroid, or another baby?
I am actually freaked out with all the options. As wonderful as twins are my DS is a handful and I can't picture life with tiwns, the fibroid idea scares me because although not cancer, my mom died of breast cancer young and anthing to due with tumors sends me shaking and crying. My MW gave me the options to wait it out or go for amother ultrasound. She really doens't want me to go back to the well know, in my opinion highly regarded, center, but instead to go to a school that does free ultrasounds or a tech she uses at times that will come to my home.
I don't know what to do... We have a rountine exam tommorrow evening, so I may just wait to talk to her then. Thanks for reading my novel, you girls are just great with advice and I needed to get it off my chest.
