Sensitive post. 7 week scan

So today i’ve Had my 7 week scan. We have one healthy heartbeat looking the right size with everything round it that should be which is amazing. But we also have another little one whose heartbeat is very slow and doesn’t have anything round it. (Sorry can’t remember the technical term)

We’ve been told that this second one probably won’t make it and I’ve been booked in for another scan in 2 weeks time where they expect to only see one baby.

I’m over the moon that we have one viable healthy looking little one. But there’s also a maternal side of me that worries for the one with a small heartbeat.

Does anyone have any experience of this and have any advice on what I might expect in 2 weeks time? Or even what my body might do over the next 2 weeks?

Thanks xx
