Is there any hope? Twin pregnancy 7 weeks FINAL UPDATE

[Sanibel]

I feel like I've been on a wild rollercoaster these past few days.
On Friday I had a scan and saw one baby with a heart beat 6w2d.
On Monday I had a little brown spotting and went to get checked out and that is when we saw 2 babies! That was 6w5d. Doctor said the angle was bad and couldnt get a good look to see if the second baby's heart was beating so he sent me for another scan.

That scan was today 7w and there was no cardiac activity for baby A .
Baby B had a hb of 145 and measured 7w.

I'm supposed to follow up with my ob tomorrow morning but I'm devastated.
I was so excited about having twins and now the thought of losing one is killing me. I can't stop crying.

Dont worry hun may be baby A is taking some time to develop. Prayers on you way.

Sending you all the positive thoughts I can.

I have been here - I had ICSI treatment and conceived twins, both showed heartbeats and then one was gone at 7 + 5 i was devastated but i had to try and stay positive for the one remaining twin... after all whilst i had loved the idea of two LO's i would not have been disappointed at one either.

I am praying for Baby B and hoping that a happy and healthy pregnancy will relieve teh grief that you are feeling right now.

I'm sending positive thoughts your way! Baby A - I'm thinking of you little one!!!!

Thinking of you & baby A

 

[Sanibel]

Thank you for your positive thoughts.

I'll know more in a couple hours....my appt is at 10am.

Is there a possibility the heartbeat was too hard to see? I guess not since Baby B's was flickering away.

How did it go? Hope you are feeling alright, just stay positive

Went in this morning and the doctor wanted to check again for Baby A's heartbeat.
Still nothing though. He said there is a possibility we might see something next week but not likely because anything over 5mm should have a heartbeat. He was very up in the air about everything. He said on one hand, on monday he could barely see the second one and today it was very easily visible and larger. If Baby A was already dead would he be growing?? He went over the possibilities with me: I could start cramping and bleeding and expel Baby B in which that could cause me to lose Baby A or Baby A could survive and I could have a healthy pregnancy or Baby B could be absorbed by my body and be a vanishing twin.

He said that a couple days makes a huge difference and that with twins most the times they are fraternal and I might not have O'd at the same time or implanted at the same time.

I go back in one week to check again....if by then no heartbeat then I'll know for sure that I lost Baby B.

He didnt give me a definite answer or try to give me any false hope...from what I felt from his tone is that Baby B is most likely not viable but there is still a small chance.

As you say hun it definitely looks like both babies have grown - i truly hope that your next appointment brings you your very own little miracle.. fingers crossed xx

 

[LilianA]

well I don't want to give you false hope hun but maybe the first time you saw one baby in there the second one was on its way to implant? or implanted but was too small to see were as baby A was visible. if that's the case then there is a good chance that the heartbeat is on its way.
I hope you get two strong heartbeats next time and that this week passes quickly for you.
my thoughts are with you

That's so weird because both babies do look bigger... I am keeping you and your babies in my thoughts... I don't wanna scare you, but I'm gonna share my sad but happy story.

My mom had just had a loss before me, from doing something really stupid during her pregnancy. She didn't even have a period before getting pregnant again. She was already terrified while pregnant, and at around 10-12 weeks, her brother got jealous (he's mentally disabled) and kicked her in the lower abdomen really hard. Almost right away, she started cramping and bleeding terribly and swore that she had lost me. Well, all of her blood work came back okay, and she never lost symptoms, and her doctor told her she's still pregnant... but they were all stumped about that bleeding.

After that, her pregnancy went just fine, but my mom had some kind of medical problem that I still don't understand, and she's unable to go into labor and has a hard time dealing with the strain of pregnancy. Her doctor checked my lungs via ultrasound every other day from 33 weeks on, until they were developed enough to deliver me via c-section.

They never saw anything weird in any ultrasounds. Everything else in the pregnancy was perfectly normal, until my birth... First, they delivered me, a very happy and healthy baby! Then, they pulled out a placenta... and then a much smaller sac, which was all that was remaining of my twin. Yep, I was a (fraternal) twin, and nobody even knew it until after I was born! At least the bleeding and cramping was explained at that point.

Now, I'm going back to hoping that BOTH of your twins are just perfect and healthy. While I suggest just for your own emotional health that you expect the worst, keep hoping for the best.

Keeping everything crossed for you...lots of positive thoughts.

 

[Sanibel]

Thank you so much for your prayers and positive thoughts. I'm feeling pretty down.

Is there anyone who has had a similar situation even with a singleton pregnancy that turned out to be ok?

 

[jennijunni]

Lots of hugs mama. I am thinking of you. I know it is hard, but having negative feelings can make things worse, so rejoice in your two babies today, and grieve if and when the time comes. Dont go there yet. Lots of hugs!! I hope all is well with your beans!

 

[megangrohl]

I agree, there does appear to have been some growth. Try to relax and remain positive until your next appt and keep us all updated. Would love to see the results!

I have no personal experince but i did work in an ultrasound department and we had similar scans with a lot of twin pregnancys. One twin would have a heartbeat and the other wouldnt or both twins would have a heartbeat but there would be 4 or 5 days difference in there size. i dont think i ever saw twins that measured the same. So it is posible. However on the bad side and to answer your other question yes the pregnancy can continue to grow but not have cardiac activity.i hope the wait goes quickly for you.
