Twin discrepancy

Hi girls, i had my 32wk scan yesterday which showed twin 1 is not growing as he should(dropped by 50%) and now there's 19.9% discrepancy between them. Having another scan in 2wks to review. Doctor told me its borderline and they'd really worry if its 25% but of course I worry!! Has anyone been in the same boat and that twin actually gained more weight in the next scan??

I had this, my twins had a discrepancy of 19% at one point, they immediately put me onto weekly scans though to monitor. The following week the discrepancy was 17% and the difference got smaller every week until they weren’t worried about the discrepancy any more. It was also my twin 1 who was smaller. When they were born they were 6lb 3 and 7lb, and twin 2 struggled to maintain his weight when he was out my belly! If they’re monitoring you they’re doing they’re job, although it’s not easy on your stress and mind x

I was the same! My Twin A was smaller & the discrepancy varied massively scan to scan. Anywhere from 6-23%.
The consultant told me that the scans aren’t that accurate but it’s all they’ve got to work with so need to act on them. I was eventually sectioned at 32+6. Twin A was 3lbs 13oz & B was 4lbs 8oz, both bigger than they thought they’d be. Now 13 months old & wild! 🥰🥰

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
