Different size di/di identical twins

I’m 19 weeks with identical twins that are in their own sacks & placentas.

A = 5th percentile and has a one artery umbilical cord (instead of 2)
B = 93rd percentile

Baby A has been 1-2 weeks behind since the beginning. Docs were surprised A has made it. We’re doing genetic testing and awaiting the results.

Has anyone had this happen with identical twins that aren’t in the same placenta/sack? If so, I’d appreciate if you had any insight on the outcomes. We’re worried something might be wrong with A.

Thank you 🙏🙏

Be careful with genetic testing. Some of the testing can cause still born or miscarriages

she could have had the more up to date/non invasive genetic testing. Mine was done by a simple blood draw like normal labs from my arms.

I did blood draw and amniocentesis. I did have the 1 in 500 chance of leaking but the hole resealed.

I’m almost 34 weeks with boy/girl twins in separate sacs and our girl has been much smaller since the beginning. She is about 3 weeks behind and we also did amniocentesis which thankfully came back with the clear.

They determined that it’s a placenta issue not a baby issue, which they’ve said is predictable to manage and we have been doing weekly scans to stay on top of it since the start of the second trimester.

Feel free to dm me if you have any questions at all, it was such a stressful time in the second trimester 🫶

Be careful with Omnicenesis it doesn't do very well with some pregnancies

I had di/di boys this past November. One of my boys had a two vessel cord but my genetic screening from my blood test came back normal so the doctor wasn’t too worried and didn’t want me to do the second screening he said he didn’t think i needed it. He said he might be the smaller twin which wasn’t the case in the end he ended up being the bigger twin by 2 ounces.

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

5 months today🥺

where has the time gone!!!

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.
