Hi, thanks for writing..
If she is crossed 34 weeks after giving 2 doses of betnesol injection, it would be better to deliver her.. The dead fetus can release harmful substance during the process of maceration which can affect the surviving twin.. Retension of dead fetus in utero can cause uterine infection which can be harmful for both mother and baby.. So it is ideal decision to deliver the baby and nurse her in the NICU.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is high risk pregnancy so the gynecologist takes the appropriate decision for survival of both mother and babies, after the 30 week delivery could be conducted in very emergency (rare condition) where the life of mother is matter, hope this information helps.
