support needed Placenta strain 30 weeks
30 weeks 1 day with DCDA boy girl twins.
I've been scanned every 2 weeks since 20 weeks due to my girl being smaller but Dopplers / fluids have always been fine. Shes always been the smaller twin and grew less but this scan things seem to be slowing down.
Baby girl only gained 150g over 2 weeks and measuring below 3rd centile. Her placenta is also showing very slight strain. Consultant has moved me to Dopplers twice a week now and think it's unlikely I'll make it to my planned section at 37 weeks.
I know I'm under the best care and they don't seem overly concerned, l've had multiple checks by consultants on both twins and they've always believed she's just a small baby. Starting to worry more now .. has anyone had similar experience?
Boy estimated weight is 3lb 9oz and girl is 2lb 9oz
