Vanishing Twin!?!?!?

Question

So last week I found out I was pregnant with twins... super exciting!!! The 2nd twin was smaller than other baby and lower heart beat! Went yesterday and and no heart beat to be found and baby same size. Was told its vanishing syndrome😕  anyone else lose a twin same way with heart beat then nothing?

Answer

Same. My second pregnancy was a twin pregnancy. Found two babies at 6w then went back a week later and one was gone. It's hard. Really hard to get over. Sorry.

Answer

I am pregnant with my rainbow baby. And at 5 wks they found two sacs. I went in two weeks later and only one sac had a baby inside. The other is empty and much smaller. The doctor said it's probably vanishing twin syndrome. Sorry for your loss. It's been tough especially because the baby that they saw is measuring small and heartbeat was only 110. I go back Tuesday 🙏🏻🤞🏻🌈

Answer

15 years ago, when I was pregnant with my daughter (today is her birthday!), I was bleeding heavily. Went to the hospital and they told me the baby is fine. But the bleeding didn't stop. It went on for two more months. On the 16 week I had an ultrasound and surprisingly there were 2 sacks - one with my daughter and one was completely black. Doctor said It was her twin that stop developing. I was so happy that at least one baby is alive. The bleeding stoped later on after the sac absorbed completely. Today she is all grown up and so sweet and she doesn't know that I'm pregnant (10w+1d).

Answer

Yes went in 5 weeks, 2 sacs, went next at 8 weeks, one developing baby and the other sac had what looked like a blood clot in it) dr says that my body was already trying to absorb it.

Answer

My mum had this with my sister. My sister was totally fine (she has her own kids now) but other twin completely gone. Just lots of extra amniotic fluid.

Answer

Hi, I experienced losing a twin during my pregnancy last year. My doctor referred to it as vanishing twin syndrome and said it is common in early twin pregnancies. After missing my period and getting a positive pregnancy test, I started bleeding the following day and thought I was having a miscarriage. I went to my doctor and she performed an ultrasound and told me that she saw two sacs, but it was too early to detect heartbeats and my bleeding stopped while in the doctors office, but was heavy a few hours prior. Heading to my 2nd ultrasound 2 weeks later, the technician only saw one sac and one heartbeat and I was told the 2nd baby was gone and that my body reabsorbed the 2nd sac. I believe the bleeding I had experienced was me losing the twin the 2 weeks prior. I now have a happy and healthy (almost) 9 month old son! I still wonder what his twin would have been like, but feel very blessed to have my little guy.
