It's been a while, and it's been kind of eventful....Well, we were going to have an ultrasound every week or so. One Friday when they were doing the measuring of sack fluid, (they measure the biggest "pocket" of fluid) they said that Baby A had a significant amount more than Baby B.
Baby A's fluid was on the high end of the normal range, and Baby B's was on the short side of normal. But still in the normal range.
Now, this could be a symptom of Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, or TTTS. Basically what happens is that one twin "dominates" the other, potentially pulling the fluid from the second twin. And that, as you can imagine, is BAD.
(Side note: Why is it that all the male OB docs are the "gloom and doom" variety? We haven't seen one yet that doesn't immediately go to the ABSOLUTE WORST CASE SCENARIO.)
Anyway, so we had to come back in a week to measure the sacks again. Mommy was a nervous wreck, as you can imagine.
But, it was unfounded worry, as yes, Baby A still has more fluid than B. But, the difference between the two is MUCH less than it was the first time. And since then, Mommy has noticed Baby B moving and kicking much more than before, so even she is confident that he's doing okay.
*Sigh* I'm learning WAY too many things already.....
