well a pregnant woman’s heart rate increases during pregnancy sue to increased blood supply so it wouldn’t be abnormal to have heard your own going a bit faster. if your indeed carrying twins they wouldn’t be far apart at all, but this early there is lots of room so it varies. also a babies heartbeat increases with movement so if one baby is moving at all their heart rate will automatically increase. and it is possible to miss a 2nd baby at a 7 week scan, the other baby could have been behind the first. or the technician may have just not seen it or mistaken it for something else.

Ask your doctor about it, because one of those heartbeats might be your own ..

A lot of times twins are missed in early pregnancy but the doctor should have picked up on the second heartbeat by now I would think. But anyway that sounds really exciting! If you are having twins i’m gonna guess one boy one girl. It does sound like you could be carrying twins though, good luck!
