Can Reduced Growth Rate In One Of The Twins Cause Health Complications?
Am pregnant (6months) have got twin babies when checked in ultra sound scan it was found that growth of one of the baby is less, doctor has asked me to scan again on 2nd March to check the growth of the baby. you said if there is twin babies then it is a complication case. Is there any issues for the baby in the womb until it comes out? Or what can be done for my baby to be healthy and safe until it comes out?

HI.
If one baby suffers from growth retardation then it is not an indication for corticosteroids, but only your doctor can be the best judge for this. Growth retardation can be dealt with in a few ways, but to be honest it is possible for the twin experiencing some growth retardation to have some health related issues (possible not very serious) once born.
Best wishes.
