Measuring behind?

StarLightStar22 · February 2011

Hey ladies! DH and I did IVf in Jan and just found out we are having twins! I am right at 6 weeks and have had some issues with spotting so thats why we did an ultrasound early. Both babies had cardiac activity and we could see their hearts flickering away but they could not get a good measurement because they said the babies are too small. They are both measuring about 2-3 days behind so hopefully we will be able to get a good measurement in a week. Is measuring behind with multiples normal? I am slightly confused but the doctors didnt seem alarmed.. Thanks for any help ladies!

Both my girls measured a few days behind too and were fine!

Congrats and welcome!

My first two ultrasounds, the babies were in fairly awkward positions to get good measurements...so they measured 3 days behind but the RE kept assuring me it was just their position. Sure enough, by my 10 week u/s, we could get good measurements and they're actually both measuring ahead now. So I wouldn't worry too much (easier said than done, I know)

Yup right from the start my twins measured a day or two behind, and they still are. My OB has never been concerned since they are growing appropriately at every appointment, they are just a couple days off from my EDD. I did IUI but I'm thinking maybe they implanted late or I actually ovulated a couple days after I thought I did from the trigger!

Congratulations by the way, and best of luck!
