iloveflipflops

First ob transvaginal appt was today they saw two sacs one with a yolk sac the other was only measuring two days behind but still had no yolk sac They said that one wasn't that far behind.Anyone have this same thing happen during an early ultrasound and then the other twin caught up in size and you saw two heartbeats at the next ultrasound?Baby A is measuring 5 weeks 3 days Baby B is measuring 5 weeks 1 day

At 6w5d we saw two sacs, fetal poles, and heartbeats. Baby B is consistently behind baby A by 3 days.

You should open up the other threads w/ this question. One mom has anamazing story.

I did not find out until 9 weeks, so both had hb, but mine always measured 3-4 days apart. I definitely wouldn't worry yet

I hear it happens ALOT! I hope your next appt shows both babies clearly. There is so much variation in early pregnancy and with twins (especially di/di) they could have implanted at different times so it would affect what you see on an early scan.

My other little one is only two days behind so I'm praying the little one who is two days behind has a yolk sac as we'll next week and that we hear two strong heartbeats. This was my first ultrasound today did they find two sacs on your first ultrasound did just one of yours have a yolk sac what did they say at your appt??

Sorry for the duplicate posts my computer went crazy.

My doctor was baffled because i already had two natural twins miscarriages due to a wall in my uterus which i had removed. He was expecting one baby and all three of us were in shock when we saw two sacks... There was only one yolk sac and the flickering light for a heartbeat. Doctor said the other one might be behind or is in a difficult position to see so we will go monday. I am trying to rest and pray as much possible to give the second little one a fighting chance. The doctor didnt even tell me details about the pregnancy he just said lets stay calm and wait till i see high risk doctor... I wish i would of asked more questions! When is your next appt? ((((Hugs)))))

Dichorionic-Diamniotic is when they have their own sacs and placentas. They are the lowest risk category of all types of twins.

I'm on mobile so can't see if you have a ticker? How many weeks and days should you be?

If your main concern is just one baby measuring two days apart, that is no big deal. Mine were measuring several days apart in size at my first ultrasound which was at 7 weeks. Unfortunately, if your doctor does really early ultrasounds, it's just a waiting game to see if they both develop. Good luck!

A two day difference is nothing to be worried about. Mine usually measured around 5 or six days apart and were always both healthy. If they're fraternal it's possible for them to have implanted on different days also

Yes, I saw that. I was asking how far along you had calculated you should be. I see you posted above that next Friday you will be 6 weeks, so if you were less than 5 weeks when the ultrasound was taken, then both babies were measuring ahead? Truly don't worry about a 2 day difference. If they are measuring ahead, then you are doing great.

Baby B never caught up in growth I was praying that baby would have caught up but the great news is that baby A had a wonderful heartbeat of 150 bpm at my last ultrasound

KatieGummow
