We found out on Thursday, had some spotting and am extremely anxious so was sent to EPU for a scan. I was supposed to be 9 weeks with twins, having had 2 scan already each showing two heartbeats, but only one was still alive. The other stopped growing at 8 weeks and had no heartbeat. I've been signed off for two weeks and been told to wait to miscarry and hope it doesn't take the other one with it.
I feel like I'm drowning, it's so hard to breathe. This is our first pregnancy after 4 highly eventful rounds of IVF, including 2 hospital stays,an incident where I nearly lost an ovary and a few months worth of drug induced depression

Sorry for your loss 
.
My friend had a vanishing twin, had two big bleeds around 6 weeks so went for an early scan and then seen two babies but I believe 1 heartbeat and they'd said the second was perhaps a little further behind so booked her for a scan at 8 weeks to see if it would. By the 8 week scan she'd had another bleed but her remaining baby grew perfectly, he's 3 weeks old now :)
Wishing you all the best.

Hi
I was pregnant with twins and at our 9 weeks scan was told one of the twins ' heart beat had stopped.
Like you I waited and the second twin was absorbed by the first one and I was left with a single pregnancy.
From there on it was plain sailing for me and he was born at 40 weeks. He is now 2 and a half and eating his breakfast. Try and keep busy, throw yourself into work, plan movies to watch in the evening, etc and Thursday will be there before you know it. The wait is so hard but for now its all you can do..
I have everything crossed for you, keep us updated if you can xxxx

Hi Everyone, just a quick update-we had a further scan today at 11 weeks and things are currently as they should be for baby 2. They also think baby 1 is beginning to decrease in size which is apparently good news. Feeling a lot more positive today and keeping everything crossed for 12 wk scan next week.
Thanks for all the messages of positive stories and support, it really did help
