I just got back from the latest ultrasound / bllod work appointment and I came home more confused than I left. The ultrasound shows two heartbeats one at 155 and one at 182. That part was good.
The larger baby stalled out a little and only grew 5mm (should have been over 7) and the larger baby grew 10mm (but still measures at only 14mm and should be closer to 20). The smaller baby had some "irregularities" although I am still a little unclear on the specifics. BOTH babies sacs were measuring behind (I think about a week and a half but I called the nurse to get some clarification). Both babies in general are measuring a week behind.
The nurse had nothing to offer in terms of the lack of growth on one and increase in growth on the other. She gave me no thoughts on prognosis or anything. I know she can't predict what will happen since it could potentially go either was but at this point all I want is some idea of what to expect. What are dealing with. Twins? No babies? One baby??? I feel so in the dark.
So I am immensely frustrated, confused and feel like I am back to square one. Not sure if the growth of baby B is a good sign or if we're still looking at a potential loss. Not even sure about either one if the sacs are too small. The nurse is going to call with my numbers tomorrow and hopefully she'll have the sac measurements for me then too.
So, back to waiting. I go back Wednesday for ANOTHER round of u/s and blood work. I HATE this process!!!

I can't even imagine the roller coaster of emotions this is taking you and Bry on. It's unsettling for me to hear it and I'm just looking in on the situation. Continuing to hope for the best, and for some clarity.
Much love from Idaho.
