I was so excited today because we get another ultrasound! The babies measured 12 weeks, 3 days, one was 6 or so mm bigger than the other. This was the first time I had a tummy ultrasound. It was pretty cool to see them in there moving around. I’m sad that Michael missed this appointment. There was a little bit of bad news though. The ultrasound was done to measure their nuchal fold since the usual blood test is not valid for twins. One of the twins is fine, the other one (bigger) had a 2.8mm fold, which increases their risk of getting Downs Syndrome to 1:124. Anything higher than a 1:250 risk is considered “high risk for Downs”. Even though there is still less than a 1% chance, I was still worried. So, I’ll have to get a CVS test next week, which the test itself carries a small risk of miscarriage. I was distraught for an hour or so, but there’s nothing I can do for a few weeks so it’s not worth worrying about. I’ll take it one step at a time. I did get some ultrasound pictures and will post them soon!
