I can't stop worrying that one will be gone.

When I go for my nuchal translucency screening on Feb 8th. I knew that there was a possibility that one could dissappear, but my OB didn't really say anything. When I started loooking online I am seeing percentages as high at 50% chance that it could be vanishing twin.

 I know that if it happens, there is nothing I can do. But I feel like this is all I can think about until the u/s. Tell me to breathe.

    oh dear, I have felt the same way.  Just know you are not in total control and more likely than not, your babies are fine.  The risks go down as time creeps by.  Is this your second sono?

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I have my NT scan 2/5 and I am terrified that we lost one of the twins. All I can say is google is not your friend right now. It will only make you worry more. Good luck!

    Yeah I had one at 7w3d that discovered the twins. They had strong heartbeats, but I'm not sure that means anything. I need to stop looking at the internet.

    On a positive note, my RE said seeing two heartbeats is a very good sign.  So try and think positive, you have no reason not to at this point :)  We have all been there and those few weeks between u/s at first are scary.

    Good Luck. I was having triplets with 3 strong heartbeats, on January 8th we found out that baby c didn't have a heart beat at 12 weeks 4 days.

    The other 2 are very healthy and active.

    I can totally relate!  I've had 4 previous losses so it's very hard for me not to worry about losing one or both of our twins.  I've had 3 u/s and both babies have had strong heartbeats, yet I still can't help but worry that things won't look good at my NT scan.  Hang in there!

    I'm in the same boat... Had my first ultrasound at about 10 wks. when we found out we're having twins.  Since then I've been waiting to get booked in for my 2nd u/s and am so nervous about it!  All we can really do is to think positive... pray, if that's your thing and just relax, hope for the best.  Most likely, everything will be fine!
