So Baby B looks great and is a girl, but it looks like Baby A has a skeletal dysplasia. The Dr thinks its a lethal one. We had amnios done on both babies and won't know more until those results come back in 2-3 weeks. From what the dr was saying we will not be bringing 2 babies home from the hospital. He said we wont know for sure until we get the results but he started talking about reduction vs carrying to term and having baby pass shortly after birth pretty quickly. It seemed like everyone was pretty confident in what it is. They think baby A is a boy, the B/G twins I had hoped and prayed for. We are devastated and I can't even believe this is happening. I am just praying so hard that they are wrong and that it was too early for an A/S (they said there was a slim chance this was the case). Anyway, thanks for listening.

This. My sister just had her first A/S scan, mind you she was 21 weeks with a singleton, and was told that her baby's head was much too small compared to the rest of his body, so small that it wasn't even measuring on the chart. There are many developmental issues that could cause this (not to mention she already had one son with a genetic disorder). She was so upset, panicked, cried, worried, made herself sick which, of course, was not good for her baby but understandable.
She got a second opinion 10 days later from Johns Hopkins and voila...her baby is perfect. I just went through this with her and it is all so fresh. I'm so sorry you're now going through this, I cannot even imagine how heartbroken you must be. Please seek a second opinion and take good care of yourself and your babies.
