hi, I had a twin that stopped growing about 9 weeks. I had a scan at 6 weeks due to spotting (fertility treatment - Clomid) and there were 2 with heartbeats, not different sizes but I got more spotting about week 9, and I insisted on a scan by week 9 and a 1/2 then they could see one of them had recently demised. I was very upset and kept hoping they'd made a mistake for a several weeks after that, it was surprisingly hard. The good news is my lovely DD1 is 6 years old now. I did have a PPH and a placenta that didn't come out cleanly, I have no idea if that was related to the twin or not, we thought it might have been.

i was told vanishing twin syndrome is surprisingly common and most people never find out they had a twin as they don't get scanned typically til week 12

Thanks for your response - I did think that - how we wouldn't probably have even known if we hadn't had the early scan. I just need to be patient and see what the next scan shows.
