Hi all, I posted on the pregnancy board with no replies, I guess no one have much experience. Here's hoping theres more help here.

I am feeling raw and helpless. A few weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant with twins. Immediate horrible reaction and I kinda hoped for "vanishing twin syndrome" to get me my one wanted pregnancy.

Well, fate be damned. Twins there at 12 weeks but increasingly twin 2 getting smaller and smaller. Discordance went from 9 percent, 12, and today at 17 weeks, 17 percent. Diagnosis confirmed today, twins have siugr type 2. After wishing one twin disappear, now I'm hoping both survive.

I think I will be offered the laser ablation surgery soon, probably as soon as next week. I am also preparing that I may be asked to selective reduce them, but I don't want to.

Anyone got happy news/ things to do to keep babies in as long as I can please? I am worried sick, but "stress is bad for babies". What the fuck do I do?

Hi, i have just seen this post - I have SIUGR with 24% difference with twin 1 being smaller. I am due to have laser ablation surgery next week when I will be 17 weeks pregnant. Can I ask how things went for you? Sending you lots of love
