Second Ultrasound-7 weeks

7 weeks- 1 sac with heartbeat

Since there were 2 sacs at our 6 week ultrasound, we needed to go in to see if there were now 2 heartbeats. We were anxious and praying all was ok. We saw a strong heartbeat again in baby A, but after some searching....there was no heartbeat present in baby B. This is called "vanishing twin" syndrome and is more common than you might think. We found out about it due to early ultrasounds. The doctor assured us that the sac will shrink and be absorbed into my body and will not harm our Baby since it was happening so early on. That was a day filled with more mixed emotions. We feel so blessed to be pregnant with one baby, but so sad that we lost another. We have faith that all things happen for a reason and now need to focus on our little "stinker" (as I call our little one at times :) ).
