Vanishing twin syndrome
Can anyone share their experience of the vanishing twin syndrome? Anyone can advise how long your bleeding last for vanishing twin syndrome? Is the sac still there during 2nd trimester check up?
Oh, this must be such a worrying time for you, hang in there, mama. From what I've heard, the bleeding for vanishing twin syndrome tends to last roughly one to two weeks on and off, with most mums finding it settles by around the 9-week mark, though everyone's experience is a little different. As for the sac, my friend who went through this said that by her second trimester scans there was no sign of the lost twin or its sac at all, the body had fully reabsorbed everything, which her doctor said is actually quite typical. So while it sounds frightening at first, the physical traces often do disappear on their own over time, though the emotional side takes longer to process. That said, every case is different, so it's really worth having a detailed chat with your own OB or specialist who can look at your specific scans and give you the most accurate picture.
