At seven weeks, doctor heard one heartbeat and say one healthy sac. Also a smaller sac with no heartbeat. We all put our anxiety down on this page, but no outcomes....

 2 sacs at 5 weeks 4 one is bigger than the other :( can it be twins?
by: Anonymous

I was bleeding at 5 weeks 4 days went to the ER and they did a ultrasound and told me they two sacs one measuring at 9.5 and the other measuring at 9.2 but they said it was WAY to early to hear a heartbeat so they didn't even attempt.:( they said one of the babies has more of a baby feature (weird) than the other. So the sac could be filled with just blood or could be a fetus we won't know until September 8 😩😩😩 I can hardly sleep. I'm NOT ready for twins. Please help has this happened to anyone and ended up being pregnant with just one health baby ?

 Twins two heartbeats one measuring 5 weeks other measuring 7weeks
by: Anonymous

When I went in for my confirmation appointment my doctor seen two sacks. One had a heartbeat one diddid not. He referred me to a fetal maternal medicine doctor and I went in on Friday for a u/S and one baby is measuring 7weeks and the other one is only at 5 weeks both now have heartbeats. The specialist does not seem to be too optimistic about the smaller baby. Plus I am Diabetic and my sugar has been out of whack since my pregnancy started. So that does not help things. Has anyone else have the smaller twin 2 weeks apart and it catch up with the bigger one? I am glad I am not alone and that other woman have experienced this.

 One heartbeat twins
by: Anonymous

I had a early pregnancy scan today and I am 7 weeks 4 days. I have twins one heart beat 148 and the other no heart beat. The doctor was confident that one twin is demise considering they are both measuring at 7 weeks. But I have been booked back in for two weeks follow up scan. Fingers crossed 🙏🏾

 Pregnant with twins
by: Pat0315

I'm 9 weeks pregnant with twins but only one heart beat was found my doctor is sending me to a specialist for twins because even though they couldn't find a heart beat the babies are still growing and are the same size I'm worried and I have no idea what's going on and wanted to know if anyone experienced the same thing

 Two sacs one heartbeat
by: Hopefully praying

I recently went to the er for stomach pain. I am now 7 weeks pregnant. At the time I was 6weeks 4days. Anyways u/s tech found 2 sacs but acted like it wasn't a big deal. She said only one showed a heartbeat. She didn't even want to mention the 2nd sac to me. But I knew it was there so I asked her did she see 2. She replied with how did u know that. I told her I just did. My husband has identical twin sister n my grandmother has a set of fraternal twins. My next doc app is on Jan 13 n I'm going crazy worrying if its twins or not. I lost a baby in Sept of 2015 n don't want to go through that again. Has anyone been through this n the outcome was postive?

I had my first ultrasound on 31st march baby measuring at 8 weeks.. They found two sacs same size one baby with heartbeat or sac only some kid off shadow. They are treating as a singleton pregnancy! I already have two children one off each and I feel completely different with this pregnancy! I just know I'm having twins but it worries me to know there might not be, with one sac only having one baby and the other with a shadow!!! Plz any advise will be helpful.. I have to go back on 12th April to have a second scan will be around 10 weeks. I'm really hoping both will be showing!!

 Going through the same thing!
by: Anonymous

Hi,

I'm going through the same thing. I'm carrying twins...I'm 6 weeks and 2 days today and went in for a vag u/s this morning. baby A had a very strong heart beat and appeared to be double the size of baby B...which we couldnt find a heart beat. Should I be worried? The doctor doesnt think Baby B will make it! Hope youre twins are making it!!

 7wk U/S - 1 hb
by: elenabpac

I went in yesterday for my first ultrasound @ 7 wks which surprisingly revealed identical twins(I am an identical twin too). One measured great at 7 wks and had a hb of 141. The other measured only 5wks 6days and did not have a heartbeat. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What was the outcome? Does my 2nd baby have any chance??

 two sacs, one baby
by: Anonymous

I just had my first ob appointment, and had a vaginal ultrasound. My doctor detected two sacs, but only one baby w/a healthy heartbeat. The baby was very hard to find due to me only being 7 weeks 6days prego, and not to mention I have a tilted uterus. She scheduled a full ultrasound in two weeks to see if the other sac is still forming, and to see if we can possibly find the other baby. Both my sacs look to be the same size, so I am really not too sure what to think. Any advice, and comments would really be appreciated.

 Worried
by: Anonymous

I am supposed to be 8 weeks pregnant today, but I went in to get an ultrasound. They saw two sacs, two fetuses, but only one had a heartbeat and it was 100 bpm and the baby was measuring 6 1/2 weeks. The other had no heart beat and was measuring nearly 6 weeks. I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound. Anyone ever have this happen? I'm so worried. I've already had a miscarriage and a stillborn.

 I'm not alone
by: Anonymous

I thought I was alone in this discussion. My doctor said he say two sacs, but could only find one heartbeat. So, he said we were treating this as a one baby pregnancy. I have a history of miscarriages. Actually, I had two in less than six months only 1 year ago. He added I could have miscarried then immediately got pregnant, or became pregnant again immediately after getting pregnant. So, we will see. I was 6 weeks at that time and will go back at 10 weeks. Thanks for sharing your stories.

 :(
by: Anonymous

Well, same thing is happening with me except my doctor thinks the babies are in the same sac and couldnt see the second baby really well- it was a little smaller then the first baby and he couldn't find a heart beat :/
Im worried sick because I had a NTD in my last pregnancy and had to end the pregnancy. Now I am hoping that the twins are fine- although I feel like they are I am very worried. The doctor said not to worry and to go back for another Ultrasound next week :(

 Same happened to me.
by: Anonymous

My 5 and 6 week ultrasounds were iffy as we had 2 sacs but could really only see one heartbeat. By 7 weeks we could detect both heartbeats. One baby was just harder to see.

 Not sure
by: Anonymous

im not sure but i think you need to be at least 8 weeks to get a good read on an ultrasound for twins.
