Lost twin

Yep they said no never get what they want. At 3 weeks I found out I'm pregnant and went to see a doctor .and he confirmed it through ultrasound and said all looks fine.so i continued going to work as usual. At 8 week's i went back to do and was told I was carrying twins but one's heartbeat stopped like a week ago. I always dreamed of having twins. I wish I was a twin my self. I just find it kind of cool.the thing is I'm 28 weeks now with one healthy baby girl. And the doctor said she don't nkow the cause of the other baby's death. It keeps me up all night since ' blaming my self that mybe if I could have stopped working at 3 weeks I could have saved her ' I stand all day at work because I work in a factory but I stopped working at 8 week's though. I just feel so guilty but my doctor said it's not me 'she have seen it alot and some people it happened to are not working. It kills me inside and I thought writing about it here will help me let go off it.did anyone experienced such pain in their lives? ?

There is nothing you could have done to save it . There is always a weaker twin and plenty of people go undiagnosed with twins because one twin has died .my friend jokes about how she ate her twin in the womb and my auntie had a lump removed from her back and when it was biopsied it was her twin. It happens a lot more then you would believe .

I know exactly what it feels like to blame yourself for what has happened to your baby. Last year in may I had a still born I was 33 weeks and my baby was a boy. I went to a regular doctor visit and when she tried to hear the heart be she couldn't get one. I think about it all the time. Maybe it was something that I did maybe I could have stopped it. Or I should have taken better care of myself. When I delivered my baby they told Me it was the cord wrapped around his neck. Even knowing that doesn't give me comfort. I'm sorry this has happened to you but you do have a baby girl and that's a precious gift.
