It's actually not wildly uncommon for this to happen. The first embryo would probably be defective (as in, incapable of living) in some way, and the body automatically rejected it. The second baby has as good a chance as any baby of being just fine.
The dead twin will be still-born and will have not effect on the remaining twin. You do need to speak to your OBY/GYN for more detailed advice.
The other twin is unlikely to survive.
No, Mona is A at first. Then Mona dies and Alison takes Mona's place in being A. Alison never dies, her twin sister did.
no alison is alison. she never dies her twin did.
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
i was pregnant with a set of twins. one passed on at 13 weeks enutero and the other made it to 29 weeks before coming a bit early. the twin that passed had (i suppose you could say) mumification going on. when i found out the one twin had died, it was because i thought my water had broken so off to the hospitol to find out it was the passed on baby's fluids, and not her sister. (oh and my daughter born at 29 weeks, she will be 7 this year. best of luck, i hope that helped a bit, i know it's not all sciencey,but that is my story of faternal twin demise.
There is a possibility she will have a big baby. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I bet another ultrasound has been booked that will be fine. I was induced at 36 weeks becasue Twin 2 wasn't growing. Twin 1 weighed 4lb 15ounces, Twin 2 weighed 6 lb 3ounces!!
37 weeks. but the average is 32-36 weeks when they are born.
Depends on how they were conjoined.
Yes.
The first A is Mona. After Mona dies, there becomes a new A. The second A turns out to be Alison. Alison also killed her twin sister, Courtney.
No I don't think so but that would be cool!
