The word is officially out about our sweet Twin B and their passing. If you missed out on my post, you can learn more about what happened here. Since losing one of our twins, everything else has become more difficult. Both placentas were still growing at my last ultrasound appointment so I’m carrying much larger than normal. We tried to do an NIPT test only for the lab to reject due to VTS. The doctor suggested doing the old school finger prick test just to have a base of numbers to work with when it came to chromosomal abnormalities. Well, that test was refused as well based on the baby’s size instead of gestational age. So at this point, we are hoping that our next ultrasound will shed some light on our baby’s situation. Until then, here is our 15 weeks bumpdate for you! It’s funny to compare Max and this one from his bumpdate 3 years ago!
