Our twelve week Nuchal scan (where they check growth, organs and also for Down's syndrome) had come four days after our emergency trip and we were feeling good!
The first thing we saw was just one baby.... "Oh! Where is our other baby?"
The sonographer looked puzzled and asked if we were sure it is twins. They eventually found the baby but there was no fluid around our wee babe :(
The scan continued and measured baby a for downs and growth then Moved on to our baby b. still a heart beat, still growing but no fluid.
The dr returned once again and this time (after a really bad joke made by me about feeling sorry for her being the bearer of bad news all the time) told us that she is very sorry but due to no fluid being detected that our baby had signs of foetal demise and would shortly either be reabsorbed or would be flattened by the other twin.
Yeah I broke down.....
No mother wants to be told that.... Now to 'wait and see' what happens...
We would now be expedited for a booking in with the high risk clinic.
Twin A all cozy in its wee swimming pool
Our poor darling Twin B with no fluid at all, this was very hard to look at as it was moving around and all I could think about was the fact that it may be in pain.
Twin A is at the bottom and Twin B up the top but hard to make out.
