I was wondering has anyone else had the probelm with their pregnancy? I have to go for another ultra sound on the 26th of December. Juse attle worried about the smaller one. Any Advice would be great.

I am a twin my sister was conceived three days after me. Making her smaller then me. I think with twins there is always going to be a smaller one. Also for awhile they didn't see my sister in u/s so they told my mom there was only one. I think after a few more u/s they discovered there was two of us. Don't worry too much. They haven't exactly gave you bad news so keep positive. Goodluck

I found out I was havig twins at 6 or 7 weeks pregnant. And they had a hard time hearing baby a's heartbeat because of how it was positioned and the fact that it kept moving.  And baby a is a week behind in size from baby b but both are healthy little boogers. I am now 17w2d.

Are you having identical or ferternal? Ferternal twins have there own placentas and usually dont take from each other until later in the pregnancy. Later on there placentas can fuse together ,thats what mine did. Also with ferternal twins you could of gotten prego on two different days wich would make one a little smaller. Mine were conceived four days apart and twin b was also smaller.

having twins is a crazy pregnancy bc generally one baby is smaller than the other bc of all the nutrients the baby has to take in and all of that. as long as the baby isnt wayyyyyyyy too far off in size, i wouldnt worry....if its a couple days off in size or even just a week, i still wouldnt worry, only bc having twins is tough. i have never had twins, but i know people who have and they all told me the same thing that one is usually smaller than the other
