Question/Possible trigger

[carolineleigh]

Hi everyone! I intro'd a few weeks ago, but haven't participated much. I've been super nervous about this pregnancy.

**trigger warning**

I went today for my first appt and u/s at 7w 2d. I have one little gummy bear measuring 7w 5d with a heartbeat of 154. I also have a second sac with a cluster of cells. There was no heartbeat and dr didn't get a measurement. Dr said she doesn't believe the 2nd baby is viable but she has seen strange things happen in twin pregnancies. I'm going back for a repeat ultrasound in 2 weeks.

I am so happy about the one baby but also a little sad and confused. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, and what the outcome was. Thanks so much!

No experience, but all the hugs. I hope your scan in a couple weeks goes well.

I have no experience but sending you all the hugs and good vibes!

[steph]

No experience here either but hoping for the best for you and sending hugs!

No experience, but sorry you are in limbo with the second sac. Hopefully someone here can share their experiences with you.

I don't have experience, either, but will send good thoughts your way!

No experience here either - just wanted to pile on the hugs and send you all the positive vibes for your next scan in 2 wks!!

No experience, but wanted to send positive vibes for your little one. I believe that this is sometimes referred to as "vanishing twin". There's someone on PAIF that had this happen and she's 12-13 weeks now with a single.

I had a vanishing twin during my last pregnancy. It was only ever a sac (blighted ovum) so we never saw an embryo. I hope things work out for the other!

I have no advice but will send you good vibes!

I'm sorry I have no advice. Sending good thoughts your way!

I don't have any personal experience but I believe an early vanishing twin is relatively common and the other twin is generally not affected!

Hugs! Hope your scan next week gives you more answers

[gratefulgirl]

No experience, but ((hugs)). I am sure you are dealing with an impossibly complex set of emotions right now. Be gentle with yourself.

[musicgirl]

Sorry no experience here either. Just hugs!

My sister's friend had vanishing twin. I'm not sure how far along she was, but her then singleton is nearly 7 now!

[hollyberry]

I am sorry, also have no experience, I sending lots of good vibes your way for your scan in 2 weeks! Hugs!

Thanks everyone! I'm assuming this will be a vanishing twin situation. I am trying to stay focused on the healthy baby, but I'm still sad. Thanks for all the hugs! ❤️

Totally reasonable to be sad. Even if you didn't expect twins, it must be hard to see that loss of a potential life. You are strong mama and it's ok to be both happy for your healthy baby and sad about your loss. (((Hugs)))
