Unfortunately when I went for the ultrasound this morning there was only one baby. The twin 'disappeared', which may be the reason I haven't stopped spotting. The remaining baby has a slow heartbeat - only about 120 - so the Dr. is concerned I may miscarry, although everything looks fine otherwise. He said something about seeing the yolk, which is supposed to be a good thing.

So it's back to bed with me for another week, until I get an ultrasound next Wed. He says that if we make it through the next week, and everything looks OK, then most likely there will be no problems at all.

I wasn't surprised that I lost one of the babies since it was so early, and 1 out of every 4 preganancies actually starts as a multiple but only 1 out of 90 come to term as twins, but now I am so scared I will lose the other too.

Please keep Baby Peeps and me in your prayers - thanks. (P- my husband's last name - went from Baby P to Baby Peeps to Baby Peep).

Thank you all so much -- I have to say Kathy's post had made me so happy that I am not thinking about my problems anymore!!!!

I will take care of myself - I am actually back at work. I work at home so I just sit at my desk for hours -- I move around less than if I were in bed and the Dr. says the main thing is not to move too much.

Thank you for your prayers and good wishes ladies!!

Sending . I am so sorry to hear that. Take it easy and lay low until the doctor says otherwise. I know bedrest stinks but it works. Get plenty of books and movies and relax. Keep us posted and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks --- Here I am, still waiting......staying in bed....,,but I won't complain because I am just happy that we did get pregnant at all.

I haven't been on here long (the TTC board) mostly because I did not want to stress about the whole TTC, but we have been trying for a long time -- and I had tried with my ex-husband for a while too (which fortunately did not work). So although it may look like it was 'easy' for us, it wasn't and I sympathize with everyone on here who is TTC.

I am 38 so if this one doesn't stick, I feel like we will run out of time -- especially since we would like 2 kids. That's why we were so psyched about twins. Oh well, I will just have to follow the Dr.'s orders and hope for the best!!

Everyone is so supportive, it really helps!
