OB visit and u/s

Emilicious88

So yesterday, I went in for my first vaginal u/s - the first u/s since the Dr. said I had twins. They discovered some very interesting things. First off, there was only one set of actual twins - they were Momo (is that right?) twins, and one had a heart beat and a little blood flow, while the other didn't. These two measured 6w5d and 6w2d, respectively. The u/s tech also found a single baby that measured 8w2d......it also had a heart beat and blood flow, but significantly more than the twin. I'm just not sure what to make of the situation. I'm not terribly upset about the lost twin because at the time I found out about it, there was nothing I could do. I just don't know what to do about the babies being 2 weeks apart! And I know that this is extremely rare, but I saw the images - as did my Dr. - and we are both under the opinion that I did drop two eggs at completely different times. The development between the two is just so incredibly different! Has anyone else experienced something like this?

so does that mean you originally had triplets? but now you have two? i hope they continue to progress. 

(and i see you're in louisiana - are you in new orleans, by chance? just curious.)

I did originally have...triplets? I guess...I mean, the twins were two weeks behind the other. But I guess it qualifies. I'm actually closer to BR; but in-between the two cities, really.

I don't have any input on the U/S but wanted to butt in and say that I also live close to BR.  I live in Geismar, which is b/w BR and NO.

I must say, it's so nice to know that there are people close by. =]

There's another MoM who doesn't really post much here, who lives in Garyville. I drive between BR and NO a lot, if that counts.
