Sarah Herron is set to become a mother to twins! The Bachelor alum announced on Thursday that she is expecting fraternal twins following her 12-week scan. Sharing sonogram images on her Instagram Story, Herron provided a glimpse into her pregnancy journey with accompanying updates.
“Last week, we had our 12-week scan with the babies,” she began. “They are measuring exactly the same size, and their zogosity test confirmed that they are fraternal twins, which is a strong indication that both mosaic embryos implanted. (Rather than 1 embryo splitting).”
She also posted a photo of the sonogram, showcasing both twin A and twin B.
Herron initially revealed her pregnancy in January following a challenging IVF journey. The reality television star shared the news by posting a photo of an ultrasound along with the caption,
“Appointment today went well, the babies are growing on track! Next appointment in 3 weeks. The babies look so round and chubs! Little Rolly pollies!”
Herron later reflected on her initial ultrasound, disclosing that she initially thought she was expecting triplets. She wrote,
“What’s really crazy that I haven’t talked about yet, is that when I went in for 1st ultrasound, there were actually 3 gestational sacs. Yes, that means baby A tried to split and become identical twins, but a yolk and fetal pole never developed. So… this means for about 15 seconds I had a heart attack that there were going to be triplets.”
She showed another close-up of her ultrasound that labeled the twins as “Baby A” and “Baby B” and expressed her gratitude for Brown, writing,
“He’s very chipper as always.”
Earlier this week, Herron shared a Reel on her Instagram, where she took a moment to express her apprehensions about being pregnant again after the loss of her son Oliver, who was born at 24 weeks in January 2023.
“The morning we found out we were losing Oliver, a friend of mine who’d been through loss encouraged me to take as many photos and videos as I could in our final hours of pregnancy,” she began her caption, adding that to this day, those are still some of the only videos she has of herself pregnant with Oliver.
“I’ve been careful in this pregnancy not to let myself get ‘too attached too soon.’ I’ve been wearing baggier clothing, hibernating and denying when friends ask me on the phone if I’m starting to show yet,” Herron wrote, noting that, “Pregnancy after loss is just a whole new, complicated territory and I wish there was a playbook.”
“But when I got out of the shower the other day, and caught my reflection, there was no denying that there are two beautiful little girls growing inside my belly. So while part of me saying ‘play it safe, don’t go there yet’ there’s another part of me, a more authentic part of me that’s saying ‘This is happening. It’s ok to let yourself enjoy it,’ she shared.
She continued by expressing that while she can’t predict what tomorrow may bring, if there’s one thing she wishes she had more of, it’s videos of her son.
