What Do You Suggest For Short Limbs Of An Unborn Baby?

Hi we ve just had our 20 week scan and one of our unborn identical twins has short limbs, and we are worried it may have dwarfism although the other twin is growing at normal rate!? If it was dwarfism wouldn t they both be showing signs of short limbs??
