My profile

Hi!!! My name is Swan! I am 30 years old and pregnant with my 4th & 5th children. By the way, we just found out it was twins at our 18wk appt on 5-8-08!!! At first it was only one baby...lol I have 3 daughters now ages are 11, 9, and 7. I am very excited yet nervous about the birth of these twins.. I recently lost 2 children back to back. One son on June 30, 2006 at 26 weeks due to a twisted umbilical cord and another son at 16 weeks on September 27,2007 due to Trisomy 18. I am so nervous about this pregnancy but I pray and hope that they will come into this world healthy. As for now, all ultrasounds and blood work have come back great. The doctor says that everything is looking fine. Your prayers and comments are greatly appreciated. One Love!!!

Hi Swan. I, too, am pregnant with my 5th child. I read your post about your "liar friend". My first pregnancy was twins and they new early on that one of the twins wasn't developing and my body did just absorb it. And they did ultrasounds 3 times a week for the first months to make sure the surviving twin was ok. So that part is possible. But I don't see any way she could go to the hospital and they could tell her in the ER that one twin had brain damage. How the heck would they know that???


little mummy - Thursday, 23 October
Swan i think u shud get ur friend sum serious help, coz the girl is obviously cryin out for sumthin more than normal people can giv. My mother was havin twins and at 24 wks due to complications one of them died. They did not seek to induce, as the other twin had a healthy heartbeat they just played the wait an c game. My brothers was born in june 2001, his twin very small and not breathing for obvious reasons was passed right along side him. This was a very traumatic thing for my mother. The body would not absorb a fetus. Ur fiend has major issues, things like these are emotionally taxing on the women they happen to, and for ur friend to play for sympathy like that is wrong!!! I'd tel her that u'v rumbled her that u spoke to doctors about her scenario, and also inform her that the day u called the hospital to check she was ok like any caring friend wud that they didn't even know who she was. Then i'd recommend a gud dose of councelling.


kiwilady - Thursday, 23 October
ditch the compulsive liar. i used to have one working for me. try and catch her out. normally if you confront a compulsive liar they still wont admit to it. stories can be really far fetched.


mysurprise - Thursday, 23 October
Not a problem! I've come to the realization that I need to take care of myself and my family first. People just get used to the fact of using you and abusing you and it gets out of control, then everyone's upset. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you....

Hey Swan,

I checked with a dear friend of mine who is a NEO NATAL/ NICU nurse at a large hospital. She has worked there for 9 years in all sorts of intensive care situations focused on infants. She herself lost a baby at 25 weeks. The baby had died inside of her and she was scheduled to have a DNC once they found out. The night before her body rejected the dead fetus and she technically mis-carried it. When I told her about your friend, she said that a. it's not possible to know you are having twins unless it's confirmed via amnio, u/s or doppler. A person with previous experience with twins may know based on how they are growing and a mother who's been PG before may think they know based on how much faster they've been growing. and b. she said the odds of carrying the one twin to full term with a dead fetus inside is highly unlikely. The body would reject the dead fetus- it does not turn into tissue- which would lead to pre-term labor- where both babies would be forced out of the womb. Meaning the viable twin wouldn't survive as it's too young and underdeveloped at 21 weeks.

She did include that she is not a medical doctor is an RN and stranger things happen. But in her experience she would have to say you have person who is telling some pretty big whoppers on your hands.....

Hope that helps!


jamesonsmamma - Wednesday, 22 October
It is technically possible to leave a dead twin in while the other one grows. They cant remove it or it might risk the other fetus. How did she know she was having twins if she hadn't been to an OB? Thats the part that sounds suspect to me, why would she lie in the first place? It seems like there are some way deeper issues involved if that is the case. I don't know I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, but then again I don't know her. I did see an episode of special delivery where a woman was in for a C section and one of her twins had died at 19 or so weeks, but the other one survived. So it is possible.


claire6173 - Wednesday, 22 October
Because her babies are in separate sacs, she would mis- carry the dead baby it would pass through her like any other person with a dead fetus. She would have passed baby out. She's just basically a 2 face liar. They would leave surviving baby, do an U/S to make sure there was no remains left behind i.e placenta etc. Im a very straight forward person and would have to point out her errors to her in what shes saying. You've been there, don't listen to her crap stay well away.


jjsbabymama - Wednesday, 22 October
Thanks!! This will be my first kid so I am not sure what to get ,but I know my hubby will have fun with the scan gun.


claire6173 - Wednesday, 22 October
Hello i just read your post in the forum thing, my friend was pregnant with identical twin boys and one died in the womb and the surviving baby absorbed him this was checked by monthly scans. But the survivng twin had a healthy heart beat and no risk. If her surviving twin has a really bad heart rate they would have kept her in for observation and bed rest. Im not to sure on the story especially if shes a compulsive liar. Its unfair of her to make up such a tragic story because that sometimes rarely happens to women. Also if she went into the ER they automatically register you as there before you are seen to. Also she knows shes exactly 21weeks but hasn't seen an OB. Im puzzeled by it all as much as you. Good Luck.


smilebig27 - Wednesday, 22 October
She has something wrong with her. You need to let thta friend go. You don't need someone like that in your life. How do she know if it twins if she didn't see the OB, that just don't make any since. Only time will tell the truth.


mysurprise - Wednesday, 22 October
I was told about vanishing twin syndrome when I was prego with my triplets last year, but my doctor said it would happen on or before 10weeks, not this far into the pregnancy. I think they would monitor her and the baby very closely so the twin that is still alive would not have any harmful effects from a deceased brother/sister. I'm going to google this because now I'm curious, and for her to throw something like this in your face if it turned out to be untrue is unacceptable. I would drop her in a heartbeat, like you haven't been through enough......and congrats on your twins!


gsummertime - Wednesday, 22 October
wow, have you seen your friend? does she look pg??

Vanishing twin syndrome was first recognized in 1945. Vanishing twin syndrome is when one of a set of twin/multiple fetuses disappears in the uterus during pregnancy. This is the result of a miscarriage of one twin/multiple. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin/multiple, placenta or the mother. This gives the appearance of a “vanishing twin”.

this info can be found at http://www.americanpregnancy.org/index.htm

I have also head where you have to leave one twin and not give birth to it til the other one is ready....she could still not be telling the whole truth, anyone could read this stuff and then make up a story.....


jjsbabymama - Wednesday, 22 October
Swan you should let this person out of your life. If she is lying that is horrible and you dont want people like that in your life. When she calls just ignore the calls and eventually she will get the memo. Good Luck


jenakers - Wednesday, 22 October
If she hasn't seen an OB, then how did she know it was twins? It sure would suck to call her out then find out she was truthful. Good luck time generally reveals the truth.

I know that's right girl! dont let the haters stop you keep your head up mama!
