Multiples

Triplets with one baby having fluid built up, whats this mean?

I am 13 weeks pregnant with a set of identical twins plus one fraternal twin. My question or concern is one of the identical twins has fluid around it's spine and skull. I believe they said it was lymph. Has anyone ever had this with multiples or singles and what was the outcome. I know there's a lot of bad possibilities but I wanted to see if anyone had real life feedback to give me. Thanks!

  • I am not sure what it means, but I hope it's not a big deal.  Are you seeing a high risk MFM?

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

  • I am seeing a high risk doctor. I just found out yesterday that the baby in question will not make it to birth.
  • I am so very sorry.  My thoughts are with you.

  • I'm so sorry to hear that.
  • Thank you everyone. It's been a really hard few days but now I'm trying to focus on the positives. I went 4 1/2 years with out babies and for a while I was a mother of 3. Now I just need to pray that I stay a mother of 2. No matter what I am in a better place then I had been for those hard trying years. I appericaite your continued thoughts and prayers! 
  • I am so sorry. My input would be that it can resolve on its own. My last one had hygromas, and she didnt make it. But the stats we got gave us a 50/50 chance. T&P for you, big (((hugs))). Praying for you and your babies!
