Hi All - I hope you don't mind me posting here. I am 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. I had a scan yesterday and found out it's twins!! One twin is measuring 6 weeks 6 days and the other the Dr said was approx half the size (so I am guessing it measures about a week behind???). The Dr said the smaller twin has a 50/50 chance of survival. Have any of you ladies experienced this? I am really worried - although delighted at the same time that I am pregnant! I am trying not to worry to much and to remain positive that skinny twin makes it. I have another scan on thursday but in the meantime does anyone have any experiences to share? Thanks for your help xxx
are they fraternal twins? if so, your eggs may have been released at slightly different times in your cycle and therefore fertilized at different times. Good luck
Hi, yes they are fraternal but I concieved by IVF so the embryos were both at the same stage when put back. Both have strong heartbeats I've read a few things online that the smaller twin can catch up but others say that they have lost the smaller twin. I guess I am just going to have to stay positive and hope that he gets the 50% to survive. Thanks xx
Personally thats what happened to my triplets, one sac was alot smaller than the other two and never fully devoloped hence why I am now having twins. I don't want to say this is definatly what happened but I wish I had been more prepared for it. But strong heartbeats are very good, it might just be that one is just smaller and will catch up.
