one sac smaller than the other?

[misstwinny]

hey, this is the first time ive been on here. Was just wanting to talk to people who are going through or have been through the same thing. I've just found out im having twins. One sack is bigger then the other by miles, and its saying their a week and 2 days apart. One is 7 weeks and 2 days and one is 6 weeks. I'm pretty worried about this, has anyone had twins so far apart in age? I've got another scan in 2 weeks im just praying everything is ok. They will be my first.[/COLOR]

Our babies were a few days apart in the beginning too. I totally understand how you feel. I also stressed out but then realized & confirmed by my doc that the babies implanted at different times. Try not to stress...I know easier said than done, but it's better for the babies if you don't. How many weeks are you?

I think this is quite common as fraternals implant at different times and sometimes there can be a suprising gap between implantation. Mine were only ever a few days apart early on, but later in pregnancy the gap really widened as genetics took over and babies grew differently.

I don't think 9 days difference is a big problem early on so long as both sacs grow well between scans. But try not to stress too much before the next scan as its counterproductive (also dont google scary twin complications lol!).

You didnt mention if they saw fetal poles and heartbeats or just the sacs at your scan. This is quite significant as normally if you see a heartbeat in both babies then both are viable and will *probably* continue to thrive. Altho if you didnt see heartbeats this early its not the end of the world either as I didnt see a heatbeat at my first scan (6 weeks) and didnt see one until 7 and a half weeks.

Congratulations on your twin pregnancy and I hope everything is well on your next scan! x
