Have you had an ultrasound? I would strongly recommend it.. if there is a possibly of twins you are going need more than a midwife to deliver, you will need a hospital with proper neonatal facilities.

A sonogram or ultrasound can determine if you are having multiples. Risks with multiples are high. Risks for you and for the baby(babies). Be proactive. contact your normal OB/GYN.. take steps to verify your condition at 34 weeks, you don’t have much time..

Yes how did they not see the twins if u are 34 weeks ?!??! that seems impossible. :/

Yes it could mean twins, it just seems a little strange that they have only just seen it was twins…. But oh well, mistakes happen, congratulations!!!!

Was the Doppler picking up your heartbeat and the child’s heartbeat at the same time? That does happen.

I don’t know how you could go 34 weeks without a midwife or OB picking up that there were two near full term fetus in the womb.

It is quite possibke yes to have twins and notbe picked up earlier! Lol not to commin but it happens! Wit twins, one can be behind the other one so u wldnt hear the second heartbeat… It sounds like one is heads down n the other is breech… Get an uktrasound to confirm twins! My mil friend was preggo with twins but when she went to deliver they discovered baby c! So she was preggo with triplets and didnt know it!! Lol congrats!!!

It could mean twins. Some people never find out about it until they give birth…
It’s not impossible, just highly unlikely.

It could also be the heartbeat coming from both the baby directly and the umbilical cord. But why didn’t you discuss this with your midwife??? BTW, if you were having twins, you should have been measuring large for awhile now.
