Well I foud out early I was pregnant at 5 weeks and 3 days I found out there were two sacs and had to go back at 6 weeks I went back and sure enough there were two heart beats, i went back for ultrasounds at 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks Everything was fine all my ultrasounds showed 2 strong babys with good health heart beats of 150 BPM or higher one was 157 BPM and the other was 168BPM then When I went yesterday for normal 12 week visit well i was a littler over almost 13 weeks, there was some problems I guess they kept me there for 3 hours, and then when my doctoer came in she gave me some bad news and told me one of my babies had died I dident understand I could still see the Baby it was baby A the one who started out the biggest and with the strongest heartbeat and now it is gone I still dont understand what happend, they said that my body would take care of it and reabsord the baby fetus, I just dont understand it, is very upsetting knowing for 3 month you have two precious babies growing insided of you and to know one is gone, well nolonger living, I could still see the baby on the ultrasound machine they told me the other baby is good and healthy bout I need to go back every week so they can keep an eye on it, I had no cramping bleeding or anything and within 2 weeks my baby was gone, I still dont understand I remember ever visit seeing 2 healthy babies with very strong heart beats on the screen, CAN SOME ONE TELL ME Why this happens?

I'm so sorry to hear this Sad I'm not sure why that happens but maybe something wasnt developing correctly with that baby and your body decided to flush it out naturally. I've never heard of this happening before and I feel terrible for you. This does perk my intrest so I think I'll look it up, I'm curious now. I'm very sorry hun, I wish you the very best for the rest of your pregnancy. Smile

Sometimes your body does things thats really for the best. Or maybe it was his/her brother or sister, or maybe God made that decision. For what ever reason that baby just wasnt strong enough to keep living. Maybe there were serious problems you werent aware of. That twin gave up its life for the other twin. This actually happens a lot. There is a lot of pregnancys that start off as twins but one dies because its survival of the fittest. The reason these arent very talked about is because the twin dies before the ultrasounds come and before you even know about it. I am sorry for your loss and please hang in there.
