If a woman discovers during pregnancy that she is pregnant with twins, it is definitely a very happy thing. But if one fetus is found to have stopped developing during the prenatal examination, what if one of the twins has stopped developing?
In fact, it is very common for women who are pregnant with twins to have one child stop developing during pregnancy, with a probability of about 15%. If one fetus stops developing in early pregnancy, the impact on the development of the other fetus is relatively small. If there are symptoms of one fetus stopping developing during late pregnancy, especially after mid pregnancy, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital to monitor the development of the other fetus to avoid it being affected.
The reason for strengthening the monitoring of the development of another fetus is that when one fetus stops developing, it will become a stillbirth. When this stillbirth continues to exist in the uterus, it will release some residual substances, which can cause disorders in the female body's coagulation function, thereby affecting the development of another fetus
If it is found during the observation process that a stillbirth has already affected a live fetus, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and have the doctor perform surgical procedures according to the specific situation. The stillbirth and live fetus can be separated through fetal endoscopy or other methods to avoid affecting the development of the live fetus.
