Good luck roobie! I hope your little one catches up. I think strong HB is a good sign.

hugs x

fingers crossed that all will be well, a good strong heart beat is a great sign.

I found out i was having twins at an emergency scan at approx 7/8weeks. they 'estimated' there was about 5 days between mine. They couldnt see heart beats though at this stage. (not sure if it was the machine etc?) My GP had booked me the emergency scan as he had told me i was very likely to miscarry in the next couple of days as i was in severe pain.

I now have two toddlers, so the little one may be a stong one despite the smalller size.

My 'smaller one' also 'stopped growing' at 31 weeks.... they had me in daily for monitoring as they wanted me to hold on for as long as possible. He was born 4 weeks later (unplanned and very sudden) and he was 1lb 1 heavier than what they said he was. The machines are great, but IMO, are no good at giving dates for mutiples as they are going to grow at different rates.

Please take care of yourself and as stupid i know it sounds, try not to worry as you need as little stress as possible x

Thanks for all your good wishes. We had our second scan today and both babies are doing great! The smaller twin is now only about 2 days behind the bigger twin. We are so relieved and absolutely delighted!! I'm seven and half weeks pregnant and due another scan in about 2.5 weeks. Just taking it easy now and keeping this positive attitude (which seems to be working so far!)

Thanks again everyone .
