My twins measured differently off and on throughout my pregnancy. Both of your babies have really strong heartbeats. Try not to worry to much. It may switch to the other way at soe point, or even out.

The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
