Boy/girl fraternal mono/di twins-- lost our sweet baby girl at 22 weeks due to SIUGR
Preterm labor at 23 weeks 4 days, lost our sweet baby boy.
Those with SIUGR
(I also posted this question on the high risk board).We have mono/di Twins whose placentas/gestational sacs fused together really early, like before 6 weeks. At 15 weeks, we found a 37% growth discordance. At 19 weeks it increased to 43%. Baby a (our girl) is growth restricted and about 2 weeks behind. Baby b(our boy) is 2 days ahead. No signs of ttts but being monitored closely.My question is, has anyone else had such a large discordance this early in the pregnancy? Our MFM said that if it was Later it would be more manageable, but she has never seen a growth restriction this big so early have a good outcome. she is expecting baby a will pass. We had an amnio on both, results were good. We also did cord Doppler readings yesterday and flow is good, cords are 3 vessel and attached. Any insight is soooo appreciated.Thank you!

Re: Those with SIUGR
Dx DOR (AMH .49), Stage 3/4 Endo, Septate Uterus
After 2 years, numerous tests, abdonimal surgery, and 2 IVF cycles, we are so grateful to be expecting.
Transferred 2 "perfect" 8-cell embies 6/12. Beta 1 6/25: 472! Beta 2 6/27: 1055!
First u/s shows TRIPLETS! WHAT?!?! Both embies stuck and one split. OMG
Levi, Henry, and Amelia were born healthy at 34w3d.
I am so very sorry to hear this
Mine didn't happen until a little later and not as severe. There was a mama on here a few months ago who had mono/di twins with a very large discordance early on like you. They diagnosed SIUGR and atypical stage III TTTS. Unfortunately they lost the smaller twin but I believe the other twin went on growing healthy. The thing I would ask about is how a fetal demise will affect the other twin. If they are true mono/di with shared blood connections in the placenta there can be negative effects on the surviving twin (death and severe disability). On a personal note, I was also told at one point that one of boys wasn't expected to survive but the MFM was wrong - not saying this always happens but sometimes medical people give the worst case scenario and aren't always right. Praying for you!

We had IUGR, but it was late in the pregnancy so not the same issue. I'm sorry I don't have advice or insight.
You and your little twin will be in my prayers.
