i'm at work monday afternoon and dr. scharf, who is dr. hurford's (my doctor) partner, called me. he said he was going through dr. hurford's files and came across my ultrasound and was concerned about the weight discordance between the twins. at my u/s last week, there was a significant difference in the size/weights of the girls. he scheduled me to see a high-risk ob-gyn on thursday and has put me on bedrest, at least until i see this other dr. to see what he has to say. i'm worried and scared.Yesterday, I went to see Dr.Hurford for my regular appt. He said not to worry b/c he suspects that when I go to Dr. Myles, the high-risk ob-gyn, that he'll do a scan and say the discrepancy isn't as big as Dr. Huford's office thought. I asked how that could be and he said that Priscilla may have just been laying in an awkward position causing the computer to read her measurements inaccurately. Maddie's measurements are perfect, but Cilla is too big right now. However, if something looks wrong, I'll probalby have to go for non-stress testing sooner than planned or even have an amnio, maybe other tests, i guess i'd find that out when in see the high-rish doc. It could be twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or maybe Cilla has a chromosomal abnormality. He said he didn't want to tell me about the chromosomal thing and was probably going to regret freaking me out, but it's a small possiblity, too. Of course, I've already thought about all of those things. With TTTS, I would probably be on bedrest; w/ the chromosomal abnormality, i don't think i could do anything but prepare myself for whatever challenges that might bring. in my heart, i don't think it's TTTS b/c it's not that maddie's small & cilla's big...it's just that cilla is big. I know that Maddie weighed 1 lb 10 oz & Cilla weighed 2 lbs 7 oz. I also know that Cilla's head and abdominal measurements were larger than Maddie's. Maddie & Cilla are mono/di twins. Has anyone else had this experience and how did it turn out?
