I had my anomaly scan yesterday and twin 2 was measuring 4 weeks behind twin 1 (160g compared to 300g). All anatomy measurements were in proportion, just smaller than expected. The smaller twin also has a suspected horseshoe kidney. The consultant explained that the outcome looks poor for twin 2 and explained that there are some risks to twin 1. Does anyone have any experience of such marked discordant growth at this stage? I’m booked to see the fetal medicine specialist on Tuesday and I’m expecting to have repeat scans and be referred for an amnio - I guess I’d just like some idea of just how bad the news is likely to be and if there are any sensible questions I should be asking at this stage.
Thank you.
