How often do people lose the second twin??

[Tobily]

It's such a bittersweet experience when this happens

My best friend is currently about 10 weeks and the same thing happened to her. She had a very early scan at almost 6wks and there were two babies, a few days later she started spotting. Had another scan about a week later and one of her twins wasn't growing. It reabsorbed and her other little one is doing beautifully.

I think it is really important to acknowledge what you've lost, it's especially hard for other people (and even sometimes for you) to "get" what you're grieving for when you still have one baby...but you're just as entitled to those feelings as anyone else who loses a pregnancy

I found out in september of last year that i was having twins as we did IVF.
We were so execited and i started buying thing straight away having to buy for two.
We were getting scans every week because of it being a high risk pregnancy.
Our dreams were smashed at my 8weeks scan when we found out baby B had no heart beat and had stopped growing.
I was so so upset these things just dont happen to me but it did and i had to deal with it.
I still had one very healthy baby to think about but it just didnt seem important all i wanted was my other baby.
It was hard having future scans and seeing the sack. The sack never came away and it stayed attached to my other sack for the rest of my pregnancy.
3 weeks ago i gave birth to a very healthy baby girl so my story has a beautiful ending
but i still think about my little rose bud that never bloomed and one day i will tell my daughter the story that she was once a twin.
I had my first scan photo with the two sacks framed and i hung it up on her wall and its beautiful,it just gives me some sence of peace.
