Has anyone ever heard of a disappearing
twin, or had this happen to them? Any
info would be greatly appreciated.

I've never had this happen to me, but I
have heard that sometimes you have twins,
and one just stops developing and just
absorbs back in to the body. I'm sure
there are tons of websites you could
research this on, or even ask your doctor.
Good luck!

I was asking because at 7 weeks I had an
ultrasound done confirming 2 sacs. One
without a heartbeat to be seen. I was
told to expect bleeding, that the one
without the heartbeat would "take care of
itself". Now at 18 weeks along, no
bleeding. I am really big for 4 months
and am wondering if maybe it was just too
early to detect a heartbeat in both. I
go for another ultrasound april 11th and I
suppose ill find out then for sure.

I had to go for an early ultrasound due to
alot of cramping. Only one baby to be
seen.  the tech said
that sometimes only one of the two makes
it and your body simply absorbs the other.
Sad to see only one, but thrilled to see
one. Seeing that heartbeat was amazing.
Absolutly amazing. April 11th.... Ill
find out if shes a girl or boy. Cant
wait!!!!

Instinct???

I am sooo excited for you! Do you have a
feeling that you know if it's a boy or
girl? Whenever I am pregnant, I just know
when I get to be about 3 months. I
normally crave spicy if it's a boy, and
sweet when it's a girl. Well, let us
know!!! Take care!

My instinct tells me it is a boy. But
ive only craved sweets!(not good for the
waist  ) I would like a
little girl, but healthy is the only wish
I truly have. Hopefully we'll find out
for sure on the 11th. Ill keep you
posted!!!

Twins!!

I am expecting twins, and am very scared
that when I go for my next scan that there
will only be one heart beat!! We found
out at an early scan at 8 weeks, and I
have another scan in 2 weeks!!! Fingers
crossed!!! How did you feel when they
said that there was only 1 heartbeat??
I will keep you posted!!

I was a little disappointed, okay
reaaallly disappointed. But at my first
ultrasound they couldnt find a second
heartbeat, only a second sac. So I was
expecting something to happen. If you
have two heartbeats it looks good that you
are having two babies. Thats so
exciting. I hope all is well as im sure
it is. Dont stress...Enjoy!! And keep
me posted.

I was watching a program about a baby
ending up growing in another baby, and one
about a baby that had no life (heart,
organs, brain) but fed off the other twin,
which can cause problems for the living
twin. Make sure this isn't the cause
cause the "parasite" (the non living twin)
can cause problems for your living twin.
*fingers crossed*

I have not heard of this, but on a cable

its twin inside of them.

Both Twins Doing Well!

Had another scan done today, to be told
that all is ok, but my both placentas are
lying low, which is what they think caused
the bleeding!! Saw both bubbas moving
around with heartbeats going strong!!
What a relief!! They were able to say
what sex they think they are, although at
this early stage they have been known to
get it wrong!!! 1 boy and 1 girl!!!
Arhhhhhhhh!!!! So exciting!!!! Feel
happier tonight!!!! Hows it all going
with you you nicole?
Will keep you posted!!

Im sooo glad to hear everything is well
with the babes. That would be so cool,
one boy one girl. I go for my next
ultrasound next sunday. Easter sunday.
We're going to find out what we're having
and I cant wait. Besides the
unbelievable heartburn and backaches all
is well with me too. Im feeling her(?)
kick more and more as the days go on.
What a long process though. 20
weeks....1/2 way there!!! Again I am so
happy that everything is okay with the
babies. Still, get lots of rest and take
care of you and yours. Keep me updated!!

I'm in a similar situation. I'm 7 1/2
weeks pregnant. Thursday morning I woke
up bleeding. I've had 2 previous
miscarriages so I went to the er. They
finally decided that I may, not sure, have
an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. But half
out of it in the morning I think I seem to
remember them mumbling to each other about
two sacs... I am not quite sure it was
really early. I was wondering if you can
go through the symptoms of a miscarriage
but still carry the second child...
Assuming I am pregnant with twins. They
couldn't tell on the ultrasound because
they didn't use the fancy one so for all I
know when they said that they didn't see
the baby, it may be that it's too small,
right??? Anybody have a clue?

My doc says I had that as when my water
broke, there was another bag to be broken,
meaning I had 2 amniotic sacs. I was
pretty big throughout my pregnancy too!

My aunt was told she only had one baby
though out her whole pg and she had twins.
One baby can be hiding behind the other
just a touch smaller. Also they could
have sycronized heartbeats where you would
only hear one heartbeat instead of 2.
Thats what my aunts babys did and she was
suprized when she had 2 so was the doc.
