I called the Early pregnancy unit this morning where i had my scan yesterday and they told me the baby with the heart beat only measured 5 weeks.
They didnt tell me anything about the other baby and didnt give me any measurements Of either baby in terms of mm or anything - I also forgot to ask if they saw a fetal pole on the other baby.
Anyway i should have been 7+2 or 6+5 so for the baby to have a heart beat it must have been past 6 weeks surely so im a little worried it was only measuring 5 - My thoughts are that now perhaps that twin will not survive either.
when I get moments of more positivity I think well if the baby was only measuring 5 weeks then perhaps that is why we didnt see the second heart beat and so come january it should have had enough time to develop and that when we go back we will see 2 heart beats all be it 2 small babies from the sounds of things. ( though 12 days smaller than dates seems alot ? )
Anyway All I can do now is wait until January 4th and pray both are healthy and have grown so please keep us in your thoughts ladies. Im flitting between feeling optomistic that it was just too early and worried sick that they should have been bigger for my gestation. I do strongly feel now though that there is no point trying to get seen xmas eve before xmas as if the baby with the HB was only measuring 5 weeks another 6 days isnt going to show a big enough improvement where as 2.5 weeks hopefully will and we will have a much better idea then of things will be.
Sorry to bore you all and be a board hog but i just need to type things dwn to get some perspective on them as I have no one IRL that i can talk to except DH and i dont want to keep on at him as like i said before he isnt that attached to the whole pregnancy thing yet..... though i did have a lovely message from him this morning saying how chuffed and proud he would be if both did survive but he is only worried for me as he doesnt want to see me struggle. What will be will be but he will be there with me every step of the way and promises to try and understand my feelings more :-)
