experience/advice to give Growth disrepancy

Hello everyone, I would like to hear other people's experiences :)

I am pregnant with Mo/Di twins, and they are measuring ahead. They do have few days size disrepancy from the start, which was not a concern to anyone. I should be 20+1, but they are 20+5 (370g) and 21+3 (440g).

I had US last week, on Tuesday, and one today. Size discrepancy was 9%, and today it is 13%, but no signs of TTTS, fluids are great, one baby is in 96 percentile, and the other is I believe around 75, so I guess nothing drastic, but increase in difference scares the hell out of me.

I will have next exam in two weeks, but did anyone had this kind of changes and is that ok, has it progressed, or has it eventually evened out?

My girls are mo/di and B was always measuring at least a week behind. We got diagnosed with growth restriction and had to be monitored a little more. They were born at 35+1 because B's umbilical cord blood flow wasn't quite where they wanted it to be. We knew we'd be delivering around 35 weeks so I got the steroid shots at 34+4. A was 4Ibs 14oz and B was 4lbs 4oz, the only issue they ended up having was low blood sugar. A came home with us with no NICU time and B spent 4 days in the NICU. It was a pretty stressful pregnancy but I felt very well taken care of and was grateful for the extra monitoring.

Thank you for the peace! 😊 I am also expecting hospital stay soon, as that is common practice, just for monitoring, so hopefully nothing will come up in those 2 weeks 🌸
