Hi,

You're definately not alone. I gave birth to twins 2 years ago. In July of this year I found out I was pregnant again. A few days later I started bleeding. Long story short I thought I was having a miscarriage and went to the ER. They did a sonogram and it appeared that this pregnancy started out as twins as well, however only one still had a heart beat. I was 7 weeks pregnant when I went. The sonogram showed two sacs, one round with a tiny baby and a heartbeat, the other one oblong and empty. They told me it would just be absorbed by my body. They reffered to it as vanashing twin syndrom and said it is very common. I was also told that this happens very frequently yet women don't even realize it. Ever hear a woman say she had her period during the first month of her pregnancy? Chances are high she had concieved twins and that period was one of them passing. That's all my bleeding was like, a very week menstral cycle. You did nothing wrong, it's a common occurance that most don't know about because it's not very often that a sonogram is done so early in a pregnancy.
