Question

Help answer this question below.

Do you know of anyone who was not diagnosed during pregnancy with twins and only discovered the fact upon delivery? I gave birth to twin daughters and discovered the fact when my doctor said during delivery "oh, here's another one. ."

    That actually happened to my mom when she was pregnant with me and my sister. The doctor never found two separate heartbeats because our hearts were beating at the same time, so he felt no need to do an ultra sound. They discovered it during mom's delivery when the doctor felt a head facing down at the bottom and the nurse felt a head up higher in the womb. Mom used to dream she was having a litter of puppies instead of a baby because she felt that something was wrong!!

    It is less common now that it was, with ultrasounds to reveal the presence of a multiple pregnancy, but there is no doubt that it still happens.

    A friend of mine had that happen. Mind you, that was back in the 1970s, the days before ultrasounds, etc. She was thrilled because she always thought that having twins would be great.

    A woman I work with didn't know she was having twins until delivery. I think her daughters are about 35 years old now.

    Congrats on the twins!
