two heartbeats
September 12, 2008
Dr. Q,
I am 10 weeks pg and have had four ultrasounds so far. My first three ultrasounds showed one healthy heartbeat. Today the ultrasound showed what looked like two heartbeats pulsing at two different rhythms. The dr said this could be a pulse from the umbilical cord or twins. I have a high tech ultrasound on wednesday but am going to go crazy in the mean time. My question is how common is it for a twin to appear after this much time? and is it possible that this is just the umbilical cord?

Although unlikely, there are identical twins that are diagnosed and noted this way as one may be "hiding" next to the other, and your next ultrasound should be able to definately see this if this is the case...
Keep us posted and let us know what they see...
