No longer a twin mommy to be :(

If you have been following my story, my Baby B has had growth problems for awhile and there were also concerns about the placenta. The original suspicions really began at 12w NT scan. Last week, I had a scan at 15 weeks to check them again. They were very concerned about Baby B because of the growth, relative inactivity and small placenta, but during this scan, it also showed that the hands were not opening, extra fluid around the brain and then the heart rate, which was 142 at the beginning of the scan, dropped down to 60. They told me that they were very suspicious that Baby B had a severe complication, likely genetic, and that I would soon lose Baby B. I just went back today for another scan to check (because there is no way I could wait until the 18w scan to know what happened) and they confirmed that Baby B had passed, possibly just a few days ago. At this point, we have no idea exactly what was wrong, and still don't know the gender (bc always uncooperative). So far, Baby A looks great, other than having a 2 vessel cord. We are doing another detailed scan at 18w and possible amnio, then a fetal echo around 20-22w. We are also going to do a large carrier screening panel, but it likely won't give is any answers as to what happened to Baby B. Apparently there is a way we can find out using a special kit and special test (microarray) after Baby A is born, by testing the fetal tissue of Baby B. We were very excited about twins, but obviously things have changed quite a bit now. 😪
