Lisa, just saw this. I will be praying for you. So sorry about your babe in heaven, but please try not to feel guilty about rejoicing in the health of your other baby. I'll keep praying for a healthy pregnancy.

Prayers for you and your little ones. I haven't been online much the last month and didn't know about this. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby. Our prayers will continue for your baby and you.

But another issue has come up, I'm not as concerned about this, but baby measured at 6 weeks today, so I obviously ovulated later than I though, no biggie, heart rate was 119, the tech had a difficult time even finding heart tones because tbe babe is so so tiny, she stressed over and over again just how itty bitty the baby was and how difficult it was to get a clear view. Seems about right. The tech also said that usually heart rate is 120-160, baby was at 119. I read that anything over 100 at this age is good. But, midwife said she was concerned that it was too slow. Any thoughts on that?

My little one had a low heart rate starting around 6 months. My midwife told me that I was "not to lie on back under any circumstances." She said that my uterus was probably collapsing in and putting pressure on the baby, causing distress. She also said that having a woman lie on her back to check the baby's heartbeat or do an ultrasound is not the best thing to do under these circumstances.

Lisa,
I had no idea about the twin and just saw this new info.
I'm praying for you.

I didn't realize how common this "one twin dying/another surviving" incident was until I read the posts here. It happened with my second pregnancy. The doctor told me they found an empty sack and suspected I was miscarrying it. They found a tiny flickering heartbeat in the other sack (Kayleigh, my now 16 yr old). He deliberating leaned towards "we think ". I was so young and naive that I was never really sure it was a twin or not.

After reading all this I realize that he probably didn't want to upset me or get me worried.

They didn't run any blood work on me until they were sure I was maintaining the pregnancy. Then they did my regular bloodwork. I never got the #s from them. Again, young, naive, and clueless.

I can't remember how far along I was. Must have been between 6-8 weeks. Same time frame as you. I just had no idea how common this is. My suspicions are pretty much confirmed.

Be assured of my many prayers for you and your little one, Lisa.

Praying Lisa - whoa, you sure have been faced with quite a bit to process. We are certainly keeping you and the surviving twin in prayer. May your precious other twin intercede for your comfort and peace.
