I sure hope someone can help me. I had an U/S scan last week and my twins are now measuring almost 2 weeks small for dates. I've been having ultrasounds every two weeks and they have always been a little small (4 or 5 days) but this last one they are very small.
I saw my Dr. yesterday and he is going to arrange for me to see a perinatologist but I am now very nervous about what's going on. The U/S tech said they are one week small for size and 2 weeks small for weight. Dr. has told me that if the whole body is small than it is just small babies but if the head is measuring normal and other measurements are small than it is placenta and my babies are not getting what they need to thrive.
I could sure use some more information on this and any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The twins are fraternal boy/girl so they do not share one placenta. With this pregnancy if it hasn't been one thing it's been another and I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it at all!

This is not super unusual, especially for twins (do they share one placenta?) One or two scans with off measurements are nothing to panic about, babies in the womb undergo growth spurts and lags just like newborns.
Just wait and see what the perinatologist has to say. Good luck!

Ultrasound is not an exact science so be mindful that their calculations could be off and try not to worry. I've had two pregnancies where the ultrasound measurements they gave me were way off - by a pound.
Twins are naturally going to be a little smaller, esp. if they are sharing a placenta.
Congratulations on your multiples!

Congratulations on the twins! i could wager he feels crushed with accountability and is attempting to be sure what his place is precisely, and resents the actuality which you discover your groove so conveniently because of the fact the mum? in reality complaining approximately the babies seems to me like a attitude to signify the babies are no longer relaxing him, in part to get your understanding by skill of suggesting that your delight is improper, and in part to show 'bitter grapes' (his place seems too small so he's pushing it away).... have you ever asked him? you're his significant different, you like each diverse, appropriate? are you able to attain out to him? purely look after somewhat on a similar time as approximately no longer something greater suitable than his thoughts and don't contradict despite he says, purely pay interest? Ask him what he demands? It appears like he must be amazing unhappy. yet i've got additionally heard of an comparable events a lot, jointly as new fathers have downside adjusting. If he won't confide in you and allow you to help him artwork by this, you need to a minimum of get counseling for your self to be sure how dazzling to regulate. reliable fulfillment.
