twin pregnancy - now only one heartbeat

A 6 week scan showed twins. Yesterday at 9 weeks only one heartbeat was found, the other twin had died about a week or so before.

Does anyone have any experience of this? Did the surviving baby make it? The hospital just said to wait and see and come in for another scan at 12 weeks as nothing could be done anyway. They said it was quite common but I've never heard of this happening.

I just feel a bit in limbo

Glad your baby made it. I'm sure that you will always think "what if"

hi there. ive just found this thread, and its really good news that you went on to have a healthy baby. the very same thing happened to me. i have a lovely 7yr old ds, and i still sometimes wonder what life would be like if i had gone on to have his twin too.
