I am soo sorry you are going through all of this!
I do not have any experience with this but you should get more opinions. Not sure what kind of Dr you were seeing but if you need a high risk Dr. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kofinas in garden city. He is the best! But again I am not sure if he is the type of dr you need to see!
Lots of  that everything is ok!!!

I agree, definitely see a high risk doc, if you aren't already seeing one.
Good luck with everything and just try to stay calm...you don't have enough information yet. Absolutely get another opinion!
I had all kinds of issues during my pregnancy and freaked out each time. Thankfully, everything turned out ok. So, I learned that I needed to stay calm for the babies and just deal with things as they came.
Sending you lots of prayers that your LOs are ok

Re: fluid in the brain??
Thank u so much girls! I have def calmed down a little more because in my heart I know and feel that both my babies will be ok. My doctors will send me for second opinions and I will DEF see dr kofinas on my own for a third opinion. I have heard such great things about him but everything was going so well I didn't think I would need to visit him yet. Thank u for all the prayers.

Re: fluid in the brain??
When I went for my Level I sono at 12 weeks the high risk OB mentioned TTTS (twin to twin syndrome) and told me there was a chance I'd need to go to Philly for a special procedure where they laser the umbilical cord.
When I went for my next OB appt. I mentioned it to her and she said the babies were so small at that point it was probably just a bad measurement.
I am now 22 weeks and have had no signs of TTTS since 12 weeks. I don't think TTTS is as common as the high risk doctors make it seem. I feel we go for so many sonos they are looking for something to be wrong versus looking that everything is good.
I have no experience with fluid on the brain.
My first suggestion is to call your regular OB and tell them what happened and what they think you should do.
Many

Re: fluid in the brain??
i was going for a sono 1x/wk from 16 weeks on to monitor for TTTS. if you are pregnant with identical twins and they are sharing a placenta its very important that you are monitored very carefully in case your twins develop it.
im glad you are getting a second opinion.
good luck!
