YEP! there is two! I was totally shocked there are no twins in the family and never knew anyone to have twins. this was my 1st ultrasound and we had no idea.
Anyone have twins in one sac? I keep hoping they will find another yolk sac, but so far at 2 ultrasounds, there has been only one sac and yolk sac detected. I'm a little worried due to my internet research on monoamniotic twins, but I'm still hoping to find a dividing membrane sometime on one of my next ultrasounds.. Anyone have the same thing? I would love to hear your stories. Thanks and CONGRATS to all you twin mommies, hope everyone is feeling well!! :)

Congratulations Audrea! I remember when my twins were just little peanuts like yours... now they are big peanuts --- I'm 21.5 weeks now and we just had another u/s done yesterday. With the new technology, we are able to see distinct facial features and they are both indisputably boys!

frat vs. identical by: Mamakruse
I'd wait a bit longer, although if yours are different sexes, there's no need to wait. ours are in diff sacs and have two placentas as well, but the perinatologist told us there's still a chance they're identical. it depends on the timing of the egg splitting. i believe if it's in the first 2 or 3 days after conception then they are identical. look into it. at any rate, best of luck to you. we have our 12 week check up in about 2 hours! i'll check back.

my u/s tech in the doc office told me these were fraternal. they are in seperate sacks and have seperate placentas. she said it was like 2 diff pregnacies all they share is a belly. she said she also thinks that they are opposite sex too! i was 10 wks 3 dys when we found out.

Whoo-Whoo!!! by: Mamakruse
I'm 10 weeks with twins too! Maybe we can check back regularly with each other! I'm excited for you and the daddy.
My DH and I found out 3 weeks ago because I had some bleeding but it ended up being nothing to worry about, but had to get that u/s early. That's how we found out!
