What is it called when a twin absorbs his twin?
That is what they call "vanishing twin" or "fetal resorption." Sometimes it is not fully absorbed, but flattened, and the condition is called fetus papyraceus. If this happens in the first trimester, there may be no other complications except some bleeding. However, if it happens later, it could threaten the health of the mother or surviving twin. If it happens at the very end, and the dead fetus is low-lying, then a caesarean may be required to deliver the living twin.
How do you know if you had twin and absorbed it when your mother was pregnant with you?
You cannot "absorb" someone.
Can you lose one twin without bleeding?
Yes, there is a condition called 'Vanishing twin syndrome'. This occurs when a twin disappears in the uterus during pregnancy as a result of a miscarriage of one twin. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, multiple, placenta or the mother.
Can an absorbed twin be a teratoma.?
Yes, and absorbed twin can be a teratoma. I know this because when I was 15 I had a teratoma. The doctor explained to me that I had absorbed my twin while my mother was pregnant with me. If you think you have a teratoma PLEASE see a doctor immediately! My teratome was not noticeable and then i started to see my stomach grow as if I were pregnant. By the time I saw a doctor mine was the size of a basketball. If i had waited maybe a month later it would've grown and taken over my vital organs and my life.
If pregnant with twins can you lose one and not the other?
It happens quite often. It is called the vanishing twin syndrom
What is it called when one twin dies before birth?
Vanishing twin syndrome was first recognized in 1945. Vanishing twin syndrome is when one of a set of twin/multiple fetuses disappears in the uterus during pregnancy. This is the result of a miscarriage of one twin/multiple. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin/multiple, placenta or the mother. This gives the appearance of a "vanishing twin." http://www.americanpregnancy.org/multiples/vanishingtwin.html
You are a surviving twin before birth your mother miscarried at 4 months and you were still in the womb what affects would that have on you as a twin Would there be a lost connection a missing link t?
This is a psychological question rather than a pregnancy one. My husband is an identical twin, and we have fraternal twin son/daughter. when asked what it is like being a twin they can't say, any more than I can say what it is like to be a singleton. Elvis Presley was a twin, his twin died at birth.
What he is the father but the DNA test said no?
This is possible... Have your doctor test for Chimerism in the parents. One of the parents could have two sets of chromosomes (they "absorbed" their twin in the womb).
