Anybody good at reading Ultrasound Photos?

If you want i could download and mark on them to point at what makes me see 2.

that would be awesome! I have marked up (of the same pictures) that the nurse sent to my daughter, I am going to add them.

Identical twins are not genetic. Fraternal twins are though. For example, if you have siblings who are fraternal twins, you are 2.5 times more likely to have a multiple birth yourself. Just ask my mom, she has fraternal siblings and went on to have triplets herself! And none of us triplets have multiples. But, either way, a pregnancy is exciting and hopefully it is identical twins, that would be fun! Congrats!

Yep. All of my children have a higher chance of twins. Although all of mine have told me they are never going to date let alone get married. I give it a few more years and the boys may change their minds. The daughter on the other hand probably will never change hers. lol

Looks like twin cockerels to me.

Does this make up for it?
Congratulations to your sister @ShellyBlanco
I hope she gets an excellent midwife and lives in an area where they practice continuity of care.

You will spoil them no matter what cause you are the grandma and that is what grandma's do. lol I can't tell the sex from those shots of the ultrasound. Although I did not see a turtle in them.

It is my youngest daughter, I m super anxious for her to get under a doctors' care. She is going to go to the same doctor(s) that delivered her first baby boy 18 months ago. It is actually a group of midwives and I really liked them. Thank you so much...positive thoughts.

I imagine with the possibility of identical twins doctor/hospital supervision is necessary.
We were lucky in getting a fabulous midwife, the same one for both girls. One rather nerve wracking home birth and one in hospital because the baby had engaged the cervix one arm first. The doctors, as they tend to wanted to operate, but the midwife managed to turn the baby and engage the head.
I have an awful lot of time for midwives.

My twins were opposites. Pinky came right out and the Brain was a true breach and did not want to come out. Doctors were talking C-section because of the one being breech. My labor stopped dead. Shift change and the new doctor tells us he can do a breech birth. Hard labor started back up and delivered both boys three hours later. LOL
