Two sacs would indicate that at some point a twin pregnancy started to develop but for whatever reason one of the twins stopped. It is impossible to know at what point development stopped. But it is estimated that 1 in 8 pregnancies start out as twins. You can google vanishing twin syndrome for more information.

At 6wks we saw 2 sacs and one he saw a baby heartbeat and all....the other was "empty" is what he said. I started feeling sick, bad morning sickness that lasted all day! I even had to go get fluids b/c I was vomiting so much and couldn't even keep water down. At 10 wks I started bleeding (very light lasted about 2 hours) went in the next day to check on the baby. I'm expecting twins in January (18 wks today)....... Now I had friend who had IVF and at first they saw 2 sacs then one was gone. So my story may be unique, just watch your symptoms if they start getting on the extreme side it could be they just missed the baby. or it was just not as developed for whatever reason. Saying all that most likely the lady that answered before is right that one will just vanish. But pregnancy are a weird thing and sometimes you get the surprise of a lifetime!!

At 6 weeks, I had an ultrasound... 2 sac, 2 babies, 2 heartbeats! I just went in on Tuesday for another ultrasound and one of the twins was not viable. I am devastated. It is such a bittersweet feeling. So far, the other baby is doin well (I'm 10.5weeks). My doctor told me that it's called "vanishing twin syndrome" and happens in about 30% of twin pregnancies. In fact, he said that if I never had an early ultrasound and my first on was at 18 weeks... I probably would've never known I was pregnant with twins. Right now, I'm in grieving mode... Good luck.
