The twin affected appears to have a larger heart as well, but the ot er twin does not have any problems to date. We have an amnio schedule fo Dec 28th but I would like more information on possible causes for the h groma and enlarged heart and any statistics on the twins being a viable regnancy based on this situation. I have researched Downs and Turners sy drome but they do not mention the heart enlargement.

Best of luck!!! My identical twins had TTTS but with treatment were just fine and are now 2 1/2, miracles can happen! :)
