A member asked:
After healthy heart rates are identified in identical twins, what is the probability of a vanishing twin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly common: A conservative estimate of frequency is that vanishing twin syndrome occurs in 21-30% of multifetal pregnancies. More commonly identified now that first trimester ultrasound is widely used. There are no known preventive measures since the loss usually occurs because of cord implantation abnormalities.
