On Friday, we were back in Dubbo for some tests and an another Ultrasound. At the last ultrasound, twin a was measuring 2 almost 3 wks ahead in growth where as twin b was measuring right on target. Sometimes when twins are identical, one twin can hog the resources from the placenta and leave one smaller (almost like a runt of a litter, sorry but that was the only way I could think of to describe it). Anyways, the dr was not too worried as the smaller one was right on target for growth.
Well, in this scan twin a is measuring 31 wks (that is 3 wks ahead) where as twin b is right on target again. Because twin b has shown no abnomalities, and the cord is looking good, we are not too worried on why twin a is showing so big. We had to delay our Dr appt until next week because on Friday he was called on emergency to Labor and Delivery and was unable to make our appt. Hopefully on Thursday, we should find out the Dr's thoughts on our Mr big and see if we need to look into this further or just watch.
But all in all, both look great. It was funny because in the begining, when the tech was trying to get a fix on which twin part was what, all we could see on the screen was two heads and a mess of feet and hands. They were wiggling like mad and she had some trouble. Helen used to dance on the ultrasound, so like sister, like brothers. If there is anything new on Thursday, I will post here.
