Ultrasound

So I’m approaching 10 weeks with my third pregnancy and at 7 weeks I went to the hospital because I was having some spotting/bleeding. I had a vaginal ultrasound and saw/heard babies heart beat. I have a bicornuate uterus so they thoroughly checked the the other side of my uterus and was told there was only one baby. I went in for my first appointment this week on Monday and had another ultrasound. They found a second baby but was only measuring 6 weeks. The doctor told me that baby was not growing and that it was common in twins for one to not make it. I was shocked and didn’t mention my first ultrasound which they have records of but I came home and started researching and read about Superfetation. I called my doctor back to ask about that but he didn’t call back. Instead he had his nurse call me to tell me the same thing about the second baby just not growing and that most likely it’s just not going to grow. So I looked up a place near me that does ultrasounds and scheduled an ultrasound on the 23rd of this month just to double check and make sure the second baby isn’t growing. Has anyone ever had this experience or known of anyone?

    @nina04perez hi and welcome. We have a dedicated “Ultrasound Thread” as well as “The Great Big Question Thread” which would be great places for you to post this. We try to discourage one-off posts when there are already established threads on which you can post and comment and contribute to the group.
    As for your question, one of the moms in my previous BMB had a twin not show up until a couple weeks later. Both babies made it, but the later twin continued to measure much smaller. Good luck! Did the second baby have a heartbeat?

    @EmilyE13 yeah I saw it after and posted it on the thread. But I don’t think the tech looked for a heartbeat. The doctor dismissed the second baby and didn’t order another ultrasound for my next appointment but I scheduled an ultrasound at a boutique ultrasound just to have them measured again before my next appointment so if it has grown I can go to the appointment with proof so he will do something although I’m considering changing doctors.
