Monday, July 11 I had my next appointment. My blood pressure was good and I was excited because I thought I was going to get the genetic/gender screening done.
At the ultrasound both babies were measuring smaller than what my original due date says they should be measuring. There were both measuring in 8 weeks with heart rates in the 190s. Because of that I could not get the blood work done since I have to be at least 10 weeks along. I now have to wait until my next appointment on Aug 8.
It was confirmed the twins are identical and they were said to be mono/di....meaning there is a membrane separating them within the sac and it is the safest way to carry identical twins. My doctor saw the membrane during the abdominal ultrasound.
I was also told that I will begin seeing a specialist for extra monitoring on the twins. That appointment is set up for Aug. 1.
