    slow fetal growth and HR?

    I am currently 7w2d pregnant, concieved with OI/IUI. I have had 2 previous m/cs and one successful pg leading to the birth of my gorgeous DS
    Found out last week we are having twins and although a little stunned, bcame instantly attached to both.
    Another scan today showed they are both quite behind on growth (5 and 7 days behind). Plus, "twinB" had very slow HR of 90bpm. "twinA" was at 132bpm.
    Soke with my OB tonight and he thinks chances pretty slim for twinB and not really sure about twinA.
    Of course I am a total blubbering mess atm but can't let go of the hope that maybe they might still be ok.
    My question is, has anyone had a baby in which early scans showed slow growth and slow HR but went on to be ok. Just clutching at straws but will take any hope I can

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear the news. Sorry don't have any info but babies are miracles in themselves that is for sure so I definitely would be hopefully that your twins will be fine sorry I'm not sure on what you meant with how they were conceived but does it mean the dates can't just be out? I am hoping to hear good news about your twins soon!

    I am 30 weeks pregnant and my baby has had slow growth also. At a 16 week scan she was approx. 2 weeks behind, 20 week scan showed 13 days behind, 26 week scan she was 8 days behind, now at 30 weeks she is in the lower range of average.

    I cannot speak for twins or the HR however I was told that if anything her growth would slow more as my pregnany progressed, she is under fortnightly monitioring however she seems to be gaining weight at a great rate.

    I hope this helps.

    Good Luck.
