Lost our "Baby B"
Unfortunately, at my first OB appointment, the ultrasound showed that Baby A was measuring ahead at exactly 10w0d and that Baby B looked like it stopped developing at around 8 weeks, no heartbeat and has started to break down.
We're saddened by this as we did have our hearts set on "two", but we are beyond thankful that the one that is left is big and healthy.
It was quite a bittersweet appointment and the OB was waiting for me to lose it and cry. I guess I can't really cry, yes I'm sad that we lost one, but I know that it was for a good reason (something may have been wrong with it and the Lord chose to take it). I have to be strong and healthy for the baby I've got left.
It's technically a miscarriage, but they officially name it "vanishing twin" since the other baby is fine and secure. In a few weeks there will be no sign of Baby B and hopefully that will make a little more room for our big, healthy baby.
Knowing that this is common hasn't made it any easier today, but I would love to hear from some ladies about how they got through this. Thanks everyone.
