Identical twin - miscarriage

[jessyjessy572]

Hi, I have fund out we were expecting identical twins, early scan 5w6d shown 2 babies but only one heartbeat, we were told that it is very early and the other one can just be a little late. It is now 4 days past that scan and I have started bleeding and have heavy period like pains. Going through miscarriage few month ago I know what those pains mean. I have a appt at EPU on Tuesday so I should get some confirmation then. Question I have is it possible to only loose one (identical same sac) twin and for the other one to be ok, and if so would the loose of the first one feel like miscarriage with bleeding and pain? I don’t want false hopes if there is no chance I would rather start accepting the lost now, but though it is worth you ask and see if anyone had this situation?

Hey! Just seeing this now! How are you today? One of my good friends was just in your situation. She lost one twin and the other is perfectly fine My sister is a 'surviving twin', also! I've never had twins, but I've had 2 miscarriages so I kinda understand how you might be feeling. I'm so sorry

Hi, unfortunately we have lost the babies, same as you this is our 2nd miscarriage. We just want to know why this happening, and hoping to get some tests done, as I don’t think so we can go through all that pain again 😢

Sorry to hear that, Jessy!

I haven't been through this, though I wonder if you might get help from one of these groups:

Hope you get some positive news on Tuesday!
