I had my first ultrasound a week and a half ago. It was bittersweet. There were 2 sacs, but only 1 heartbeat. I am very happy for the 1, but sad about the other. I did some research and found this excellent article http://multiples.about.com/cs/medicalissues/a/vanishingtwin.htm and it made me feel better.
Now I have had nausea and vomiting daily for a few weeks. I also got a migraine last Friday that got ahead of me and will not entirely go away. It is very frustrating. I don't want to take meds, but really don't have a choice. After 4 days, I finally called the doctor to ask for some advice on how to get rid of it. I got a painkiller. I've taken it, but the headache is still there. The nausea is being relieved a little by B6, so it's just bad in the morning. I really need this headache to be gone by Monday.
I hate to be complaining, I am so happy, but it's hard to express when I feel so miserable. Next ultrasound is Wednesday morning - 8 weeks!

Sorry for the one that is no more, but so happy for the heartbeat you did hear! And yes, I heard it is very common to have twins and to have one of them absorbed at the very beginning of the pregnancy.
Regarding the nausea - I hear that ginger should be good for it.
