Sorry I have not posted as much lately. We had an ultrasound again on June 13th and we saw both heart beats moving and both babies measuring on track, so we were super excited that the twins were doing so well. We went ahead and starting doing some announcements that we were expecting twins. We saw heart beats and felt very confident, since we have done the genetic testing on the babies.
My doctor wanted to actually hear the heartbeats, so we went again on June 16th. It was just a few days later and I was 6w3d. We heard both heart beats this time and was very happy. Baby A had a heart rate of 110 and was measuring 6w2d, and Baby B had a heart rate of only 78 and was measuring 6w1d. Our doctor was no concerned with Baby B at this point, since I was still so early. So I am now moving to weekly ultrasounds with him.
We go in yesterday, June 23rd for my weekly ultrasound. i am 7w3d at the time of it. The doctor was doing a procedure, so I had the nurse do the ultrasound. She had a little trouble with it, since I have a tilted uterus. She saw both gestational sacs, then picked up Baby A. This one was measuring 7w2d abd had a heart rate of 156! So blessed Baby A is getting stronger. She has trouble picking up Baby B and keeps seeing the yolk sac which concerned me, because we did not see much of a yolk sac on Baby A anymore. This nurse ended up calling in another nurse to see if she can have any luck. She saw a little more, but said she was concerned because of the growth difference and they wanted my doctor to do the scan. So they had me come back that afternoon to see him. I go in for my second scan and the doctor saw Baby A right away. He then took a look at Baby B and mentioned the size difference. He ended up finding a heart rate, but it has now dropped to 72 and the baby is only measuring 6w5d. He said the baby hasn't given up yet, but it is not looking good for Baby B since his heart rate and growth has slowed down.
My next scan is Friday just to see what is going on. My doctor said if I feel like I need to, then I can come Wednesday but it is out of my control so I am okay waiting till Friday.
