Ultrasound today

Just wondering if anyone remembers about how big their babies were around 19 weeks?   Had my scan today (18w6d) which showed they were about 8 and 7 oz each.  Just wondering if this is too small.  The tech of course didnt say anything and I dont see the MD until next week.  Also wondering if that is a normal variance between twins or not.  She said one measured about 18w 5d (a), and the other 17w6d.(b)  When they were first discovered around 12 weeks they were measuring only 1 day apart.  HR were 145 (a) and 158 (b).  Also note she said baby B was 'stubborn' and she couldnt get all the pics she wanted.  Could this contribute to the variance in size/age?  Thanks!!

We didn't have any measurement scans until 24w.  At that point baby a was 1 lb 6 oz and baby b was 1 lb 8 oz.  They have been very similar in size and heart rate this entire pregnancy!  The measurements are never 100% so they always told me not to worry too much about it... not that there has ever been any concern!  Ask your Dr at your next appt.

That size sounds about right on, my u/s at 20w 5d they were both 13oz. There is a twin ultrasound weight est chart someone posted on here a week or so ago but dang it I didn't save it. Baby center updates say about how much they weight each week and mine were always a little over what they estimated. The twin one was pretty right on though.

And FWIW my baby A has been stubborn throughout most of the preg and she is a few ounces bigger then baby B. Just the way they are positioned sometimes, I dont think thats anything to worry about. And as far as the size, as long as the dr's weren't concerned you shouldn't be either

Thanks for replies.  I dont see my doctor until next week, so I didnt get any worried vs normal response to my US.  The tech just does the exam which gets read by a radiologist and sent to the doctor.

I had mine at 18w5d.  Baby girl was 10 ounces. Baby boy was 11 ounces.
