Blighted twin 15 + 5 - does anybody have any experience?
Hi all,
It was discovered that I had a twin pregnancy at 7 weeks in EPU but one was an empty sac. The second pregnancy was developing as normal. I didn't have any symptoms following that until June 16th at 11 weeks... I had a haemorrhage bright red blood at a work event and I was told by A&E it was likely a complete miscarriage and I needed to go home on bed rest.
I visited EPU a few days later and they said my second baby was absolutely fine and my cervix was closed. I was asked to continue bed rest and just wait and see. I have since had my dating scan and experienced on and off bleeding of brown blood throughout.
I am now 15 + 5 and today at work I experienced a massive bleed of fresh red blood and I was rushed to EPU. On examination my cervix remained closed and baby's heart was strong but the Dr told me he is 70% sure I am having a miscarriage. I have again been sent home on bed rest and told not to stress out and let it happen.
I am completely heartbroken and devastated... I cannot stop crying. I have a gender reveal and well-being scan booked on Friday which they told me to still attend but I am feeling traumatised and confused. I have hated every moment of this anxiety and worry and I feel incapable of carrying my baby to term. I am praying my cervix stays closed and this bleeding stops but I just don't understand what's happening.
At every scan the empty sac has remained but looks a bit smaller. What is the likely outcome here and has anybody ever experienced this and carried the baby to term?
thanks so much
