At my 20 week growth scan they noticed that Baby A had a velamentous cord insertion and while the baby had the appropriate measurements for 20 weeks, there could be issues down the road due to not getting enough nutrients from the placenta (bec the cord is not positioned properly). Today i went for my 22 week doctor visit which was just a quick sonogram to check cervical length and heartbeats. The doctor noted that Baby A is visibly smaller than Baby B.
i'm hoping that Baby A is just smaller relative to Baby B but still within normal growth range but i wont know for another two weeks when they do my 24 week growth scan. But, my doctor is now scheduling growth scans every 2 weeks (instead of every 4) to monitor the babies more closely. She talked about potential bed rest, steriod shots to help the lungs develop if i need to deliver early, etc.....
This is all seriously freaking me out and even though she told me not to worry, thats not really possible! Anyone else have any experience with this????
