Super long story short I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with twin identical boys. They are mono/di twins which means they are separated by a tini tiny membrane but they share one placenta. I have been going to high risk doctors since we found out we were having twins and we go every week still. Sometimes more than once a week. This pregnancy is my first, and it has been an absolute roller coaster. When we were just 14 weeks we were sent to Cincinnati children’s hospital because the boys showed early signs of twin to twin transfusion syndrome. They sent us back home, it hasn’t completely been ruled out but what the doctors are saying now is that I may have what’s called selective IUGR. Which basically means one baby is smaller than the other. Well, the reason one baby is smaller than the other is because of the placement of his umbilical cord into the placenta. And also because of the placement of his cord, his umbilical Doppler’s are intermittently absent. So he isn’t necessarily getting all of the blood and nutrients that he needs unlike the other baby. I am curious if any other mommies have been through this, and when their IUGR babies were born.
