Hi all, I'm Lisa.  This is a group for Moms to talk about their experience with Vanishing Twin Syndrome, or VTS.  I was diagnosed with this about 8 weeks into my pregnancy.  I have a healthy, happy baby as a result of the pregnancy, but I still think about the what-ifs.

If you have a similar experience that you'ld like to share, this is the place to do it.  I hurt knowing "what could have been", all while being so happy that I have my son.

This is a support group. A group where mothers who have experienced this particular phenomenon can talk.  Let's keep it respectful, and understanding.  I hope to chat with you all soon!

Hello i too had this happen to me in my second pregnancy, At 7 weeks Asa (my son) was twins, at 13 weeks only one heartbeat was heard and only one baby was found, there were no signs at all that it had ever been twins at my sonogram at 18 weeks, apperently this is common because my doc was not surprised at all by it. I get sad sometimes because I think of the baby that never really was, i myself am a twin and knew there was something different by that pregnancy cause I was showing soon and my uterus was bigger than it was suppose to be. But i know that God works in mysterious ways.

You say "" like it's a bad thing.

Hi! My daughter was a twin but we didn't find out until she was born and they found an extra placenta but no sac. I thought I was having a weird period and didn't know I was pregnant until almost 4 months, by that time the other fetus had aborted. They had no explanation as to why the placenta remained.

Hi you guys. My name is Chelle. I lost a twin about 8 weeks into my pregnancy. Now at almost 11 wks I am still having such a hard time with it! In an emergency ultrasound I saw the "healthy one" and then the "one that didnt make it" I never thought I would hear those words about one of my children and was devastated. It saddens me that our baby will never get to have that twin bond with his/her sibling. Though our healthy baby will not know about the other, I will. Though I am so sad over the loss of one child, I am THANKFUL for our so-far healthy baby. I think VTS adds a whole new set of worries throughout pregnancy.  every twinge I have makes me want to run to the ER and make sure that my sweet baby is okay. Thank you for opening up this group! I didnt think I would find one like it!

HI guys im rachel.. My son Nikolaus is 13 months old now, but when i was 6 weeks along there were 2 sacs there at my first appt.. At 9 weeks when i went in for the next one with the high risk doctor the other baby was gone. They said Nik just absorbed his twin. Im sad to know i was having twins and lost my baby. But im very happy to say that my son is a very healthy very happy little boy. He adores his 7 year old sister and is a very active baby. I hope that next time we get to have the "other " baby survive if it were to happen again..
