Hi girls, i hope you don't mind me posting in here. Today i'm feeling very emotional, and fragile. Last week my partner & I went for a gender scan to find out the sex of our twin babies (16 weeks 1 day pregnant) at babybond. We were soo excited. When the sonographer started scanning me, i noticed the babies weren't moving on the big screen, and also i couldn't see their heartbeats flickering away. I mentioned this, but she ignored me and continued looking at the screen. I knew deep down something wasn't right. My partner on the other hand had no idea, and was still excited. The woman turned to me and said I'm so sorry, i really don't know how to tell you this..i went on to finish her sentance and said They have died haven't they? she said i'm so sorry, i desperatley tried to find their heartbeats but there is nothing. I instantly started to sob. At that point i just felt numb. She told me that she could ring the hospital and arrange for me to go and see someone, or i could do it myself and wait a few days. I went to the hospital that night where i had another scan, and they had confirmed that they had only died within the last few days and it was more than likely died from twin to twin transfusion. I was given my first tablet that night and sent home. Yesterday i went back in where i had my second tablet. I was in labour from 9:30am until i pushed them into the world sleeping at 15:09 and 15:12 two perfectly formed baby boys. We named them thomas and ryan. We spent some time with them, and took some pictures. I was given some certificates from them, and their two little blankets. They were just like two perfectly formed babies. They even had toenails and perfect little fingers and toes! 
they have been taken off for postmortems, then when we get them back we will be having a private burrial for them. Sorry this is so long, i'm still in such shock and i'm heartbroken!
