Di/Di Growth

Okay, so I'm 34 weeks today with di/di twins. They have been growing marvelously, until what appears to be now. Last week I was hospitalized for ptl, and later in the week released to home bedrest. While in the hospital they did an ultrasound and Baby A weighed 4lbs 14ozs and Baby B weighed 5lbs 13ozs. B has always been bigger than A. I also know that these weights could be off by a pound or more. That's not my concern. Today I had a follow-up ultrasound, and Baby A weighed 5lbs 1oz & Baby B weighed 5lbs 14ozs! A literally gained only 3ozs in a week & B literally gained only 1oz in a week! I was stunned. I called my doctor & she said we would talk more at my appointment tomorrow, but she wasn't concerned because of where they land on the growth chart percentage wise. So, is this normal? Am I crazy and overreacting, or should I dig a little deeper? Has anyone else experienced this sudden drastic slow growth? Up until now they have consistently gained about half a pound a week. TIA for the help ladies!

@Gcurrier....How far along were you when you delivered & what type of twins did you have?

Definitely not always accurate! I had my last growth scan 10 days before delivery and baby A measured 6.10 and baby B 6.14. At birth baby A was 7.5 and baby B was 6.10

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate it. Normally I don't get ultrasounds that close together. My ultrasound yesterday was scheduled a few weeks before I went into ptl. Today my OB reiterated about how pleased she was with the ultrasound report, and how great the twins looked. She thinks that both of them will be over 6lbs at delivery if I make it to their eviction date!

What she^ said! My OB told me the same thing :). And they both seem to be great sizes :). And you're so close - hooray!

My office wouldn’t do growth measurements more than every two weeks on di/di exactly because of this - they said the measurements were a guess at best and not always accurate. The potential for inaccuracy or differences in technique coupled with minimal growth in a week just set you up to be concerned when the numbers don’t line up.

I wouldn’t worry. They’re both great sizes, plus growth slows down at the end as space gets tighter.
