Well good news and bad news..please read

I went to the doctor I found out I am 6 weeks pregnant ...with Idenical twins.. The bad news is one had a heart beat and one didn't. One measured 6 wks 3 days and one measured 6 wks.  My doctor made me an ultrasound appt. in 2 weeks to check on both babies. what are the chances that one baby is just developing a little slower then the other. They were actually suprised to see a heart beat at all on either one. Give me your input please.

Yes I am bigger and I have gained 5 pounds already my belly is looking like 3 or 4 months. I have been very very sick not throwing up just neauseous. I am so tired and my boobs hurt and I have had such emotional ups and downs it is crazy. but most of all I just knew it was twins.. I had a stron feeling...there was no doubt in my mind. I even prayed that my " babies" would be okay....even before I found out today. I wasn't suprised it was two because I knew it all along. I really couldn't beleive that I knew though...it's strange that I knew I agree. Thank you all for your support. It means alot to me.

Im sure it was just too early to see the heartbeat of twin B. You will have more luck at your next u/s!! Have fun with those babies!! BTW- you will get tons of u/s's because you are pregnant with twins!!!

That is what I am hoping. That it was too early. But I am afraid since they are indentical that I should have seen them both. I hope they are ok. I hope hope hope.

It's actually very common that this happens! The one that's measuring behind probably implanted a little late and that's why you didn't see a h/b yet. I have a friend on here who this happened to, and now she's 18 weeks pregnant with both babies! :) I can't believe they're making you wait 2 weeks tho! That's just pure torture right there! I have a feeling you'll see both h/b's in 2 weeks, but I understand your worry! Hang in there and enjoy your pregnancy! :)
