A member asked:

Im 39 & 6 weeks preg. w/ twins. how concerned should i be about vanishing twin syndrome? what should i expect at my visit in 2 weeks. im really scared

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrying will not : Help the matter any. Vanishing of one of the twin is being recognized more often due to the common use of ultrasound in early pregnancy. I understand your being concerned, but that will not affect the outcome. Please see this site for information on this topic. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/271818-overview.
