Thank all you ladies so much! I’ll definitely be speaking to my ob about recommendations for a different high risk doctor.
Baby B measuring 1 week behind
Yesterday I had a ultrasound with my high risk doctor. I honestly don’t even know how far along I am because I never had a period after coming off my birth control.. from the scan they had 15weeks 6 days I think. Well They did the scan A is only 2 days behind and baby B is a week behind but is weighing the same as her sister. All her legs arms brain stomach and other areas look good. They’re concerned and basically telling me it could be abnormalities or her placenta won’t know until 20 weeks when we can run a different test. They were first called Mo/di twins but now they have them as di/di twins because they found two placentas and they have a membrane separating the two of them. My high risk dr said I’ll most likely lose baby B I’m so upset because I feel like I have already failed my girls. I go back on the 13th and I’m just hoping a praying baby B is only at least a few days behind instead of a week. Has any one else had one of their babies measure a week behind and still had both their twins at delivery

I’m not a doctor, but it seems a bit of an overreaction to say you’re likely to lose the second twin. It’s common to measure a few days apart, so I’m sure there is a risk to the smaller twin but I think it could still turn out ok. Such a scary position to be in... Wishing you luck with the rest of your pregnancy, and I hope you have a good outcome ❤️
My personal story:I found out we were pregnant with spontaneous triplets and in my first ultrasound Baby C’s sac was a lot smaller and about 5 days behind and they said wait and see (at 7weeks). Fast forward two weeks and Baby C was now two weeks behind with a sac the same size and no heartbeat. I am 10 weeks pregnant and this happened this week. Is there another reason for concern besides measuring apart? You are pretty far along for them to be concerned with the dates being far apart and from what I’ve read from other moms that happens and can sometimes be explained by you dropping another egg later. I’d ask for more clarification.
Da
I have a case of spontaneous triplets as well! They’re all measuring right on track, at least they were at my appointment about a week ago. All 6 weeks 1 day & all with strong heartbeats. I’m afraid that when I go in for my next ultrasound that one will have passed even though I have nothing indicating that is happening. I just always think the worst. Do you know what happens now that baby Cs heartbeat has stopped? Will you bleed it out? Or will it more than likely be absorbed?
I'm confused why one twin measuring not that far behind the other one would automatically make the doctor think you're going to lose that twin? Did the doc give other reasons as to why they might think that? If you're unsure of your dates then it could equally be possible that baby B is measuring on time and baby A is measuring ahead. My first pregnancy, my girl was always measuring either a week behind or a week ahead until I was 20 weeks and no one ever said it was concerning. Maybe seek a second opinion?
That sounds so extreme??? My twins always measured 10-15 days apart... and nobody everrrr was concerned by that. Even the day before my c section they measure a whole pound different via ultrasound and no worries. (They came out the same weight 🙄). Unless the measurements of the body parts say the baby isn’t healthy or able to grow then I don’t think the doc should be worrying you like that... especially if they don’t know anything is even wrong yet
