Early scan…twins??

I’ve just been for a scan at 6 weeks (possibly a few days earlier) basically the sonographer and myself instantly were able to see a gestational sac with a yolk sac and fetal pole which she confirmed as a viable pregnancy but we also kept seeing what could have possibly been another gestational sack but was not as clear as the main pregnancy (only from one angle?) so she thought it could maybe be old blood..she was unsure but couldn’t rule out twins. What are your opinions from looking at the picture please? Thank you x

Now I’ve been googling and worrying myself sick that it’s a Subchorionic Hemorrhage and I’ll end up miscarrying🫣

I had SCH at 12weeks and nothing happened. My twins are 21m now.

a little bit of blood / bleeding during pregnancy is often not a big deal. Sometimes there might be a little bit of blood left in the uterus from implantation bleeding.

If it were a subchorionic hemorrhage, most likely you would know all about it. I bled fresh blood for 7 weeks during my twin pregnancy (from a subchorionic hemorrhage), at times much heavier than a period. My twins survived.

Do you have another scan booked for a week or two’s time? This scan you have just got done is very early. I imagine it was too early to see any heartbeats? I would be asking for another scan in about 2 weeks to see heartbeats (if they don’t offer it to you before then)

thank you for your reply! This is what the sonographer was questioning weather it was a haemorrhage or possible twin. I have no cramps or bleeding but do have extreme pregnancy symptoms which I haven’t experienced with my previous 3 pregnancies🤷🏼‍♀️ weve rebooked for a week today to follow up but I just don’t know what to think now and will worry myself sick all week xx

I think it’s more the not knowing weather it is a SCH or in fact a twin that’s got me worried sick xx

I had a sch bled until 12 weeks baby was fine ♥️♥️

did it look like this?

yeah they could see it until I was 20 weeks also then it just disappeared! xx

Does look like SCH. I had one at 9 weeks until 16 weeks with my twins and was fine. I don’t have any blood so you wouldn’t necessarily know about it.

First pic looks a bit like twins but your other pics you uploaded looks more like an SCH or could just be an empty sac. My hemorrhage was from implantation xx

I don’t think you would even see the hemorrhage yet your placenta isn’t even beginning to show on here. Don’t worry about that! I would be excited! But all we can do is come back in a week or two right please update us after your next scan this is so exciting! Twins!! 😁

Anyways my subchorionic hemorrhage they couldn’t tell when I was that early it wasn’t until later on that they could for sure diagnose me with it and it didn’t look anything like a twin.

If it helps ease some anxiety, I had two large subchorionic hematomas with significant bleeding which resolved on their own, with no effect on the babies (MCDA twins). Xx

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
