What else can I help you with?
Is it normal for one twin to vanish after seeing the heart beat?
From what I have read vanishing twin occurs in approximately 30% if twin pregnancies and occurs in the first trimester. I would not say it is normal, but it is not uncommon. I am so sorry for your loss.
Is it possible for a twin to be born with the other twin growing on the inside of said twin?
It is possible but very reare and only occurs in i in every 500,000 live births.
Can a female fetus absorb her male twin fetus?
Yes, a female fetus can absorb her male twin fetus in a phenomenon known as "twin resorption" or "fetal resorption." This occurs when one twin is not viable and is gradually absorbed by the other twin or the placenta during early pregnancy. This can result in a variety of outcomes, including the surviving twin being born with some genetic material from the absorbed twin. However, this phenomenon is relatively rare and typically occurs in the first trimester.
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 you eat your twin in the womb?
In rare cases, a phenomenon known as "vanishing twin syndrome" occurs, where one twin absorbs the other during early pregnancy. This can happen when one twin is less developed or has a medical issue, leading to its tissue being absorbed by the surviving twin. However, this is not a conscious act; it's a natural biological process rather than a deliberate choice to "eat" the twin.
What is the twin paradox solution and how does it resolve the discrepancy in the aging of twins who travel at different speeds in space?
The twin paradox solution explains how time dilation occurs when one twin travels at high speeds in space, causing them to age slower than the twin who stays on Earth. This resolves the discrepancy in their ages when they reunite, as the traveling twin experiences less time passing due to their faster speed.
Which wesley twin dies?
In the television series "The Vampire Diaries," it is Luke Parker, one of the twin brothers, who dies. His death occurs during a confrontation with the Gemini Coven, which leads to significant plot developments in the series. Luke's twin sister, Liv, survives and continues to play a role in the story.
How common it is to lose the other twin to a vanishing twin to lose both twins?
The phenomenon of a vanishing twin occurs in about 20-30% of pregnancies with twins, where one twin is absorbed by the other or the placenta. While it's relatively common for one twin to vanish, losing both twins is much less frequent. The risk of losing both can depend on various factors, including the gestational age and the presence of complications. Overall, while losing one twin is not rare, losing both twins is significantly less common.
If you leave Earth traveling at the speed of light in a circular pattern and your twin stays on Earth observing you when you eventually reach your twin who will be older?
According to the theory of relativity, time dilation occurs as an object's velocity approaches the speed of light. As a result, time will appear to pass slower for you as you travel near the speed of light compared to your twin who remains on Earth. Therefore, when you eventually reach your twin, they would be older than you.
What is a dichorionic diamniotic DCDA twin pregnancy?
A dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy is a type of twin pregnancy where each fetus has its own separate placenta (dichorionic) and its own amniotic sac (diamniotic). This arrangement typically occurs when two separate eggs are fertilized and implant in the uterus, leading to fraternal twins. DCDA pregnancies are considered the lowest risk type for complications compared to other twin pregnancies, as each twin has its own placental and amniotic environment.
Can a baby be born pregnant with its twin?
A human being must be sexually mature to become pregnant. Sexual maturity occurs in early teenage years. So, no newborn can ever be "pregnant"! A twin in the mother's uterus would never be in its twin's uterus. In fact, each fetus has its own amniotic sac--a large bubble full of special fluid where a fetus grows.
Does the death of a twin in utero cause defects to the other twin?
The death of an identical twin in the womb may be caused by developmental or genetic defects in both members of the twin pair, but one twin fares rather better than the other and makes it to birth alive, as a womb twin survivor. The death of a fraternal womb twin in the womb may be caused by developmental anomalies/genetic defects in the womb twin while the womb twin survivor is developing normally and does not share the same genes. After one womb twin dies later in the pregnancy and there is one placenta, or the two placentas have fused, there is a risk of twin embolisation syndrome in the womb twin survivor, which can cause brain damage to the survivor if delivery is delayed. To avoid this risk, the premature birth of the survivor is considered an appropriate solution. In short, there is a slight possibility of damage to the survivor, but the loss of a womb twin is very common, affecting at least 10% of pregnancies, while the birth of a child with defects is relatively rare.
