ok i am 18 weeks plus i have heard 3 scans so far that showed one baby. on monday i went to the hospital and the doctor said that she heard two heart beat and that i should wait for my 20 weeks scan and see maybe the other baby will pop up. i rented the fetal doppler and hear two seperate hate beat. 1 is 130bpm the other is 160bpm. this is my third pregnancy i know the difference between my heart beat and babies. so is it really twins?

my friend’s twins weren’t found til her 20 week scan and her husband was the one who spotted the 2nd baby then! good luck!
Hard to tell.
You’ll just have to wait it out and see.
Good choice to ask random strangers such an important question. You should definitely not ask a doctor or a trained professional. Maybe try and ask someone on here to help deliver the baby while you are at it.
One could’ve been hiding behind the other
well it’s that or an echo of your heart beat.i doubt it but it may be. but congrats!
wow, that would be crazy, you never know, I would just wait patiently until 20 week scan, what a surprise that would be! GL =)
Sounds like it could be!!!! Either way, congrats mama.
Your heart beat would be nowhere that high - so its definetly NOT your heartbeat you are hearing. Those heartbeats are in perfect range for a fetus, so i think you have an extremely good chance of having twins.
Though, i wouldn’t be SURE of it until the ultrasound proves it one way or another - just take it a day at a time
it could be, my friend was having twins (according to her scan) but when she delivered them she had triplets. so good luck.
wow how exciting!!
u may have 2 good luck
It wouldn’t be your heart beat, you’d be in tachycardia if it was and on your way to the Hospital! (wouldn’t be safe during pregnancy)
But it’s strange that they didn’t pick up the second before. Although it happens.
With my twins we knew at 5 weeks via ultrasound, we were able to pick up both HB’s Via doppler at 7 weeks.
I can say on a non scientific level, nothing about twin pregnancy is normal, everything seem’s to be tweeked just a bit here or there, so it wouldn’t shock me!
Best of luck mama!
It’s hard to tell. You will have to wait untill the next ultrasound. Sometimes the 2nd baby is hidden, and usually when there are twins you only hear one heart beat at first, but the 2nd beat could aslo be from an echo.
Good luck and congrats.
freind just wait for sonography scan to result
