Last night we lost one of the twins we were expecting. Scan confirmed what the doctors thought that it was twin to twin transfusion. No genetic testing as they are MoMo twins and cannot be removed. Doctors said most likely because of gestational size (she only measured at 7+5) we should plan on having a vanishing twin.

Sleep safe now sweet angel.
 
I'm really sorry to hear this, thinking of you. :hugs:
 
:hugs: So sorry for your loss.

We found out yesterday that one of our twins didn't make it either :( i
 
Sorry to hear it :(
I'm going through the same thing right now. I didn't know I was having twins but when the doctor told me he also said it looked like it would vanish. It was five days behind the other one and only had a heartbeat of 86. It was really sad hearing it's slow heart beat.
 
So sorry for your losses as well. I have had a lot of people tell me that its fine because at least we still have one. To me it doesn't even come close to comparing to losing a little one. Sleep safe angels. Sleep safe. My thoughts are with you. :hugs:

I don't want to come off rude to anyone, but especially with my family, who keeps telling me now I can focus on keeping our other twin healthy, I just wanted to lose it. Ahem, did you think I planned this or something, and I have been doing my best to keep them both healthy and happy. Makes me feel like they are saying I did something wrong. They probably aren't and most of them have never been in a situation like this so they have no idea what to say. I told a few of them, don't say anything, just be here for me, that means more to me than anything else. I need support, not put downs. My husband and I feel terrible as it is, and I am sure the remainder of the pregnancy will be harder to enjoy because I am going to be so afraid of something happening.

When a few family members found out that we picked a name, a girls name, they told me it was rude and inconsiderate. I have a gut feeling both are girls, I was right about my son, and I feel that any baby in heaven deserves at least a name. Just because I never met her doesn't mean that I didn't love her dearly. This loss was harder than the others. I lost one at 7 weeks and one at 5 weeks. With the 7 weeker I only knew I was pregnant for about a week, when we lost at 5 weeks, I had no idea that I was even pregnant. I thought it was my period. This time I found out at 3 weeks... I have had a lot of time to bond and get accustomed to the fact that I was expecting. We found out a little over a week ago that it was definitely twins, but I knew long before that.

So sorry for the ramble. I have a whole mess of emotions going on right now.
 
:hugs: I know it is a huge range of emotions for me as well.............sad, angry, but happy for the healthy baby.

And unfortunately I don't think people do always know what to say, it's really hard I guess when you haven't been in the situation yourself. I'm sure for myself I wouldn't really understand either except that I'm now here in this position and it's awful.

I had to tell people (including family) that I'm just not ready to talk about it because it's still so raw for me. Luckily most have been very understanding in that

:hugs:
 
I almost feel guilty about being happy about the healthy baby.
