Ok, first of all don't spend your pregnancy worrying. Enjoy it. That is the best advice any Dr ever gave me.

My RE and OB both told me (I had the same concerns about losing one of the twins) that they usually have warning signs if one twin looks like it isn't going to make it in the 1st trimester. They both told me that when they measure around the same and have good strong heartbeats (not in comparison to each other) that the % of one vanishing is very low. In fact, my OB said that as long as they are not mono-amniotic and fit the criteria above, each baby has the same m/c rate ect as singletons do (which I'm sure you know drops significantly after a HB is detected). So, I'd say since your RE saw the u/s and didn't give you any indication that he was concerned about either baby, you're going to be fine.

I think pregnancy symptoms differ person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy. I personally felt like death when I was pregnant with the twins and it started around 6 weeks and lasted until week 14. With my first, I had ONE week of feeling queasy, around 11 weeks, and that was it aside being sleepy! Easier said than done, but count yourself lucky that you don't feel like crap! I know there are twin moms on here who had zero m/s with their twins. And you defintily don't want any bleeding! My college roomate is due with twins in a few weeks and she said she felt perfectly normal through the entire 1st trimester.

Congrats!! I'm really happy for you

Oh, I know how you feel. I read waaay too much info online about how it was almost certain I'd lose one baby. I had to stop, it was driving me nutty!! The best book I had focused just on nutrition ect, it didn't go into all the scary stuff that won't happen anyway. If you ever need anything, feel free to PM me!
