I have 2 ds aged 12 & 11 from my first marriage.
Have been ttc with my 2nd dh but have recently suffered 3 mc at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 5 weeks.
Got pregnant straight after the last mc and at an early scan was told I was pregnant with id twins. Felt honoured and blessed.
At my 12 week scan I was told that I was a week behind in my dates - no problem. But that one twin is significantly smaller than the other and that they suspect twin to twin transfusion.
they both had strong heartbeats although the smaller one's is beating faster than the other. the consultant said this could be due to it having to work harder. He also said that they were each in their own sacs but obviously sharing the placenta.
I am devastated, shocked, angry at the unfairness of it all, feel helpless ......... I keep having panic attacks where I cant get my breath. I dont know how i will find the strength to cope if I should lose these two.
I have to wait until 5th August to see how the twins are developing and if they still think it is ttts. I believe that if it is at this early stage then my chances of keeping the twins is very slim.
I am heartbroken and don't know how to cope.
