I would get a new doctor and get another sonogram with someone else for sure. Because at this point I wouldn't know who to trust. I'd need a third party to confirm one thing or the other.

heck yeah its crazy. i have had alot of 2 scans with my doctor. And 2 somewhere else. The other place is the place that I found out it was twins. I went to L&D tonight and they did a scan and said the reason they could have missed them is because one is laying sideways and one is headdown. KInda laying on each other. I am so glad I found out now. i am going to see a new doctor. i am so mad that my doctors tech didnt know it was twins. I am so mad. But happy to know that it is two babies. Just watch out girls you might have twins

OMG - you're gonna make me freak out now! My sister had twins and I am terrified that I will too! I've had several scans and none of them show two babies. I WAS totally confident that it was only one baby, but now you are scaring me!!!

What made you think it was two babies this whole time? I am so sorry they missed it in the beginning. I guess finding twins can be tougher than we think, especially the further along we get. My sister had several technicians not know she ahd 2 until she told them.
Good luck!

Congrats on the twins - I am 21 weeks pregnant with twins.  However - do not assume that they are indeed fraternal twins (unless they look totally different after they are born).  Identical twins can have separate sacs and separate placentas - just like truely fraternal twins do...  so there's still a chance they could be identical!

Enjoy them!!  Just know that you can go in to labour anytime from 32 weeks on...
