I am 35 weeks pregnant is it possible that they could have missed seeing the other baby in my ultrasounds? The only reason I am asking is because my doc is now finding two heartbeats. This is my third pregnancy so I know what its like and this one I am twice as big, having more cravings, my morning sickness was worse and I'm swelling with this one. My other two pregnancy I stayed the same size with this one and never got two different heart beats in different places within a couple of seconds apart. So please someone just help me out on this. Thank you ↓

i think it is highly unlikely but still possible, if the twins were positioned a funny way,it'd be harder to tell you had 2 in there. ↑

Honestly, you have a less than 1 percent chance that they missed one. If you have ever seen a twin u/s, there are just too many heads, legs, arms, placentas and such that the trained doctor of tech would have to be dumb as a doorknob and blind to boot. It is very common to pick up the h/b in different areas when you are far along. With all the echoes, pusles and everything, it throws the h/b all over the place. My OB never used the doppler because she wanted to make sure she was getting each baby's h/r. She used u/s instead. Also, being this your third pregnancy, it is very common to show a lot bigger. Wwhen I was 35 weeks with my twins, I was measuring at 46 weeks. Yep, I looked 6 weeks overdue. I carried for 3 more weeks and was measuring at 52 weeks. ↑
