2 Sacs??? One With No Heart Beat. What Does This Mean?? Posted: 01-13-04 11:40am
I went for an ultasound on sunday. The
woman told me she thought there were 2
sacs. Indicating that there were 2
babies. I called my doc today to find
out what this meant. She told me that at
one time there were 2 but one didnt form
but the other had a normal heartbeat and
was doing well. What is my body going to
do with the other that hasnt formed?
Will this jepordize the health of the
other?? Help I need answers and dont see
the doctor again till feb 4th. Does
anyone know??

I'm not completely sure, but I beleive I
heard that your body will take care of the
baby that did not form and if it doesn't
then the doctor will talk about what needs
to be done. But dont' stress yet, cuz if
he felt there was a major medical problem
putting your baby at risk, he would have
let you know.
Good luck,
jennifer

Still no bleeding. They did an
ultrasound at not quite 8 weeks. I am
now almost 10. No bleeding. If there
was something wrong with the second baby
would s/he not have aborted itself by
now?? Confused.

Ask your dr next week to be sure but I
think that when your dr said the other sac
didn't form properly it meant that the
"matter" would have beentaken up by the
body or perhaps expelled without you even
knowing, otherwise the dr would I believe
have told you what to expect etc. Just
trust, the main thing is that you look
after yourself for the baby you're having.

The doctor keeps asking if I am bleeding
and told me when I do that I am suppost to
go directly to the hospital. Could it
have been to early for them to detect a a
heartbeat. It was only seven weeks.
Maybe one had a heartbeat and the other
didnt?? Yet??

Hello Posted: 01-27-04 20:04pm
I don't intend to scare you but a close
friend of mine went through the same thing
and with the child that did live , she
suffered complications, she formed extra
body parts, but my friend was futher along
then you are. There could be a possiblity
that the 2nd heartbeat hasn't been
detected. Your body will most likely
discard the 2nd sac when you deliver. But
im not sure though

Second Sac Posted: 01-28-04 21:20pm
While I was pregnant I did alot of reading
and I did read about this problem. I've
seen many articles say that the sac just
dissolves. It's called dissapearing
twin. The other baby will just absorb
the other sac. And that dosent mean
complications will occur at all. Ive
read about this happening to women and
having very healthy babies. As a matter
of fact all the articles I read...All the
babies were born perfectly fine. The
other sac just dissapeard.
Sweetie..Please don't worry..Your going to
do more harm stressing yourself out and
worrying. The doc probably just wants
you to come in if you bleed because your
body is probably going to expell the sac
that hasn't formed. And he will just
want to make sure the other baby isn't
being harmed at all. Cheer up and enjoy
your pregnancy! :p

Still no bleeding. When do you start to
feel movement?? Ive expressed my
concerns to the doctor about the second
sac. She has made an appointment for an
ultra sound but not till the second week
in april. Which seems soooo far away.
She did the doppler thing at 11 weeks with
no luck. She said it could be too early
and that at my next appt. We'd be able to
hear a heartbeat(or 2). Still I cant
help but worry. And one more thing, im
13 weeks now....When do I start to get my
energy back???

Nicole f.
My cousin was told she was having twins in
august. There were two sacs and two
seperate heartbeats. At 20 weeks she had
an ultrasound and they discovered that one
of the twins had not survived, it was very
small, but the other baby was growing
fine. Then just a couple of weeks ago her
son was born perfectly healthy, 10
fingers, 10 toes, everything where it
should be. The other baby was delivered,
it was very tiny, but it did not affect
the healthy baby. Any time in pregnancy
if you start to bleed you should go to the
hospital. Don't stress, and about the
movement, sometimes you feel movement at
15-16 weeks, sometimes not till 20 weeks,
everyone is different, especially if this
is your first pregnancy. It feels like
gas bubbles.
Hang in there hon, try not to stress
yourself out!

Nicole, your energy should come back
anytime now. But remember you must burn
energy to make energy. Unfortunantly the
energy levels get strange in your third
trimester also they go up n down up n down
sometimes with extreems. Take it easy,
dont stress yourself it sounds like you
and your baby are going to be fine. Time
will tell, until then just relax and take
care of yourself. Your doc would probably
tell you if the baby wasnt going to make
it. And like the above said, I have also
read about this and in most cases
everything will be ok.
