Different size twins ??
Hello everyone, I am new to chat.
I am 8wk pregnant with non-identical twins, I am worried because they told me that twin 2 is very small and may not survive. I have researched Vanishing Twin Syndrome and understand what may happen. Has anybody else been through this or even had twins that sarted life at different sizes. Its my first pregnancy.

Sorry to hear you have had this news. I have ID twins who are different sizes - over a pound different in weight. One of my twins had a growth restriction so I had a c section at 32 weeks. Both girls are now nearly 2 weeks old, still in SCBU but doing brilliantly. They are not on any drugs/machines and have no illnesses. They just need to put on some weight and learn to feed. My birth story is a few posts down if you are interested. Hope your little twin hangs on like mine did.
Lots of love and best wishes
Good luck and if you need to chat, feel free to message me xx
I dont want to get false hope up but as they are non-id there might not be a problem, providing they are natural conception (i mean not ivf where you can be sure when they were fertalised) you can ovulate over a two week period, so you can concieve on seperate occasions (did you see in the news about the lady who had twins by different fathers with a week difference between conception) so have everything crossed for two sticky beans
take care

how are your twins?
i just wanted to say i have non id twins - a boy and girl...
she was 6lb, and he was 7lb 4oz....
now 11 months later Ross is still significantly bigger than Darcy.
In fact most people think i am a child minder with babies a couple of months apart now! (thats at the play groups i go to!)
good luck
I should have written "different size embryo's" only just gettin used to the terminology ! ta for all your replies, especially those that have healthy twins born after a worrying pregnancy.
I am feeling much better since the worry of my first scan, after a little weep a few days after the scan I pulled myself together and have been positive since, hoping this energy will pass to my little beans.
I am 8+3 now and my first midwife appointment is Thurs mornin, hopin for a 10wk scan to check their progress. I have had no sickness and feel full of energy until 5pm ! me and my husband have PJ's on by 6pm and in bed watchin telly. Both trying to get 7 months of sleep in before the baby(s) arrive.

keep us updated would love to hear about the growth of munchkin, my friend had VTS and had a healthy baby and then went on to have a set of twins.
Also its normal to feel sad about losing pumpkin, some people wont understand why you feel sad but its completley normal, and pumpkin will always be part of you.
