“There must be something in the water”✨

Just 5 weeks after discovering twins during Maeve's pregnancy scan, I have been lucky enough to find another set of twins today.

This time, the star of the show was a stunning Golden Retriever carrying 9 foetal sacs. As I carefully worked my way through the scan, I came across something truly special — one of those sacs contained not one, but two foetuses, with two beautiful little heartbeats clearly visible. ❤️❤️

I know I’ve said this before but these moments never lose their magic. Twin K9 pregnancies are incredibly rare to find on ultrasound, so to discover two cases within just a few weeks of each other feels almost unbelievable.

The excitement in the room was contagious. Watching the family see those tiny heartbeats on the screen for the first time was such a privilege, and sharing that moment with them is one of the things I love most about my job.

I've attached the scan video so you can see this amazing discovery for yourselves.

I’ll also share another video of the scan in the comments using Colour Doppler, which allows us to visualise blood flow within each foetus. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how these tiny babies are developing and a wonderful reminder of just how remarkable pregnancy really is. ❤️✨

No matter how many ultrasound scans I perform each year, finding twins never loses its magic. ✨

When I scanned beautiful Maeve, I identified 8 foetal sacs, including one very special surprise — twins sharing a placenta. Seeing two tiny heartbeats together on the screen was truly incredible and a moment I’ll never forget.

I’m delighted to share that Maeve went on to have exactly the number of puppies I scanned, including the twins. Sadly, we don’t know which two puppies in the litter are the twins, but they’re in there somewhere!

Maeve went into labour and all was going well, but unfortunately the twins attempted to enter the birth canal and became stuck. Thankfully, she was taken straight to the veterinary team and underwent a Caesarean section.

Wishing Maeve a smooth recovery and lots of precious moments with her beautiful babies. ❤️

A little peek inside one very sweet Dachshund mum-to-be! 🐾❤️

This scan shows one of seven developing puppies growing safely in the womb. Using Colour Doppler ultrasound, we can visualise blood flow to and from the heart.

Ultrasound scanning is a wonderful way to monitor pregnancy, check the wellbeing of the developing puppies, and share those precious first glimpses with excited owners.

These beautiful babies are already receiving everything they need from their mum, and their family was absolutely delighted to see them on screen today.

We can’t wait to follow their journey over the coming weeks! 🐶💕

Moments like this remind me why I love my job so much. Claire: thank you for making my day just as much as I hope I made yours. 🥺
