lost my baby

I am 13wks pregnant now and i found out 6 weeks ago i was having twins...this terrified me because i already have a daughter who is nearly 2 but within 2 or 3 days i got used to the idea and started imagining what they would be like and getting excited about them. Unfortuntly when i went back to the hospital the week after (for what i was told was a routine chek-up) and i was told that there was only one heartbeat. This was heartbreaking to hear as anyone who has been in this situation will know but one consolation to me is that i still have one healthy baby growing inside me. I went for yet another scan yesterday and found out that the surviving baby is strong and healthy and everything looks normal but im still devastated to think that there should be two.

I know i should be grateful that even the one baby is healthy but i cant help feeling sad about the baby i lost. These days now i am paronoid that im going to loose the other baby to even tho the doctor told me that i am at no higher risk than any other pregnant woman.

If anyone can give me any advice on this i would be extremely grateful ***

Aww i'm so sorry for your loss. It must be hard coming to terms with it, I guess you just have to be grateful for the one baby that is fine and healthy, take care x

Congrats on your pregnancy tho...hope all is well! i know there must be a reason...if the baby was healthy this wouldn't have happened

Sorry to hear your news. Although this is a tough time for you, you need to try and stay strong for both yourself and the little bundle of joy you are still carrying. I am a big believer that these things happen for a reason and are sent to test us.

Keep us posted on your pregnancy babe!

Take care
