Size discrepancy

schulme2

Hey ladies!

I just got back from my growth ultrasound. It wasn't really the outcome I was hoping for. At our 18 week A/S they were concerned with the size discrepancy and fluid levels. We went in again today at 21 weeks to check growth again and they both seem to be growing but the discrepancy is still the same if not a little more. They said he's measuring approximately 1lb,2oz and she is about 11oz. He's gained more fluid and hers is about the same, if not less. I would love to hear if any of you ladies had similar situations where they stayed very different sizes. It's all very scary and they're really freaking me out. Thank you!!

At 17w4d our mono/di girls were 5 ounces and 9 ounces and their fluids were 2 and 8.4. So the MFM immediately sent us to see some specialists as we are on the verge of Stage 1 TTTS. The specialists said at that point we were at the bottom of stage 1. S

Thank you! Mine are di/di. It help a lot to hear your stories. Between what my MFM and OB are saying, it's been confusing and difficult. MFM is more concerned with the fluid levels. She is 4.8 and he is about 11 now. OB said size was a bigger issue

My OB was great at managing twin pregnancies, so the only time I went to the high risk OB doc was for a level 2 u/s @ 24 weeks (since we declined genetic testing). They found a growth discordance of ~15% or so @ 24 wks so we started checking
