    A was bigger once, but B is getting more and more of and edge on her. But they are still really close.

    Twin A was always bigger throughout my pregnancy. When the twins were born Hannah (twin A) was 6lbs. 12oz. and Jackson (twin B) was 5 lbs. 9 oz. Now Jackson is bigger than Hannah. Go figure.

    I have no idea, since I only had one u/s. But, at birth, twin B was bigger.

    Ainsley (Baby A) was always much bigger than Sierra (Baby B). Sierra was the donor twin for TTTS and also had a 2-vessel umbilical cord. When born, she was the baby that didn't need to go to the NICU though. [​IMG]

    I voted A & B were usually the same. For awhile they were measuring the same at every u/s. It wasn't until March that they were weighing different. In fact, when they were born they they were only 4 ounces difference and .25 inches.

    A was bigger but not by much. At birth he was only 3 oz heavier.

    My girl (Baby A) has been bigger, but not by all that much. Last u/s, she was 6 oz. bigger, I think.

    She's the active one, too.

    A has been bigger all along - hopefully next Monday's growth u/s will show that B has caught up a little. B has IUGR...but when I saw a glimpse of their two heads this week on the u/s (not a full gorowth u/s/) I SWEAR B looked as though she was catching up! Isn't it crazy though - the vast majority of twins show A was larger. I'll update you in a few weeks when we have them! [​IMG]

    Baby A has been much bigger for me. He was the "donor" with the TTTS issue, and even now that that's gone, he is still 7oz bigger (25%). Baby B has IUGR. [​IMG]

    Baby B - my higher up one - has been bigger every time...had been only 3 ounces bigger until the last u/s on Friday...they are now 5 ounces apart.

    I think Baby A is getting squished by Baby B!!!!

    So far B has been bigger - I was just telling DH that since it looks like I'll be having a c-section, to make sure that the chubbier one gets B's name [​IMG]

    I didnt reply in the poll because Thomas was baby 'A' and Faith was baby 'B' for the first half of the pregnancy and and then they switched for the second half. LOL. They stayed within a few ounces of each other for most of the pregnancy however at birth Faith (born first) was 5lbs 11oz and Thomas (born second) was 5lbs 2 oz so a nine ounce difference.

    They were always the same or within an ounce or two at every measurement.

    At birth they were 4 ounces apart (A-3lb4oz and B-3lb8oz).

    After all this, I have a question regarding the definition of Baby A and Baby B - is this initially determined during the first ultrasound with the criteria simply being the baby on the left side of the Mom is Baby B and the baby on the right side is Baby A Or vice versa)? I got to thinking about this...and honestly couldn't remember how they determined who was who. Does anyone know - kinda a silly question...

    b was bigger throughout my pregnancy, and at birth she weighed almost a lb heavier than a- which was kinda funny cuz the Dr. assured me that "baby b" is usually smaller than a. p

    Twin A always measure bigger but ever so slight that the dr just take them at the growing the same rate.
