How early can you see twins on a ultrasound?

In: Ultrasounds [Edit categories]

Answer:

To see twins, it depends what kind of twins you are having. Faternal twins (Two (2)separate eggs that are both fertalized) can be seen on your first ultrasound, as early as 6 weeks or 4 week if your doctor orders a vaginal ultrasound. Identical twins (One (1) egg that has been fertalized by one sperm, but decides to make 2 babies) can be seen when the fetal pole is present which shows as early as 9 weeks. Hope this helps you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
