Beautiful Blobs

I should start by saying that Baby A looks just right. Good size, good heartbeat, just a beautiful little blob of cells. Baby B is also beautiful, and Baby B also has a heartbeat, however, Baby B's heartbeat is slower than Baby A's heartbeat, and Baby B is also a wee bit smaller than Baby A. Unfortunately, the doppler would not turn on so I do not know the exact heart rates.

I specifically asked the two doctors doing the u/s what in their experience this meant and they couldn't say. It could go either way. I researched it online a bit this morning and found many message board posts on the subject. Some posters with similar u/s results went on to have good twin pregnancies, other went on to have good singleton pregnancies. If I lose Baby B, then I may absorb Baby B, or I may bleed out, both of which can occur with no ill effect to Baby A. I'm basically in the same waiting place as I was before.

I've been released to an ob/gyn. I was originally going to go with my regular family practice and went as far as to schedule an appointment, but something in my gut told me to find a new office. I decided to trust that feeling, called a different office, and already I feel so much better.

The woman I spoke to scheduled a "New OB Consult" for the 25th with a nurse, and they will do an u/s. If there are still two, then I will keep the other appointment I have the following Tuesday with a doctor there that specializes in twins.

I will let you know more on June 25. "Think good babies thoughts!"
