Anyone got experience of MC 1 twin?

[justhayley]

Hiya,
Can't believe I'm back on this thread so soon after my MC in September

Last week I got another BFP It initially felt amazing then the fear of another MC set in.

Anyway im 5 1/2 weeks and today went for an early scan.
The scan revealed 2 sacs which is just amazing. However the 2nd one is a fair bit smaller than the first and is not as bright.
At this stage they can not tell me if twin 2 is just smaller and not developing as quick as twin 1, or infact I have already lost it.
I now have to wait 10-14 days for another scan to see if there's 2 heartbeats - 1 or of course 0.
I'd absolutely love to have twins. It would almost give me meaning for my last MC - that baby wasn't meant to be because I was supposed to have 2 - if that makes any sense what so ever!

I'm not writing twin 2 off or anything, I'm talking to them lol and hoping & praying for an amazing result. However I'm also preparing myself to lose twin 2.

Anyone got an idea how it would work if 1 is still healthy & developing? Would I bleed /cramp like a usual MC?
Would it have any effect on twin 1?

If your praying tonight / tomorrow / the next week please Include me & my little miracles.

This is going to be the longest 2 weeks EVER!

Can't answer your question but you're in my thoughts and prayers

I MCd twin 2 back in April at about 6 weeks - it was very sudden, little pain but sudden gush of blood with an identifiable sac. I bled for a couple of days then had bleeding on/off for a further 8 weeks. I'm typing this one-handed as I'm bfing 5do twin 1!

My sister had bad cramp & had an early scan at 8 weeks which showed twins, 2 separate sacs, both with heartbeats although one very much smaller. Had to go back 2 weeks later & the smaller one was gone, no bleeding just disappeared. Apparently it can get reabsorbed? Anyway she went on to have healthy beautiful DD at term.

Fingers crossed for you

DS is a suspected surviving twin - I had cramping, some bleeding, no sign of the other sac but what looked like a MC in one area of the uterus. I went on to have a cery normal pregnancy and he was born at term, perfectly healthy. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule :(

Thinking of you.

yes ds2 was a fraternal twin, big bleed at just under 6 weeks, empty sac and haematoma. thought it was a mc until they found ds2 in there. I had lots of scans and extra special care, but now he's an awesome 10 year old he was talking about twins tonight actually and he does occasionally wander into musing about it, as he has always known about his twin.

will be thinking of you and hoping that you have your twin babies

Thanks for sharing your stories.
I'm also on the multiples thread getting positive stories of small sacs turning into babies so fingers crossed.
Will keep you updated.
MC any which way it happens is just horrible. Never knew (until September) how upsetting it could be losing something you don't even have properly yet.

Thanks for your prayers, thoughts & kind words
Will let you no what happens xxx
