Can Dead Twin Fetus Inside The Womb Cause Any Problem Other Twin?
Hi Doctor, i am 22 weeks pregnant (DADC twin pregnancy). Latest scan reports reveal IUFD of one twin. As per Doctor this demised fetus will automatically shrink in the womb and there shouldnt be any danger to other twin or myself. My doctor has prescribed Gestone 200mg and Asprin 75mg (to thin the blood). I want to have expert opinion on this.

Hi
Sorry for fetal demise.your is diamniotic and dichorionic twin pregnacy.nothing to worry as there is no sharing as in monoamniotic twins where one fetal death is most commonly associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation and thus fetal death.in diamniotic dichorionic twinning the dead fetus gets resorbed or shrink in size called fetus papyraceous.dont worry .nothing wil happen to other fetus or to you.more evet your Dr has prescribed aspirin to prevent it.
Thank you
With best regards
