Not many mothers are pregnant with twins, and having twins is a very happy thing. However, for some mothers with poor health, their bodies cannot support the growth of two babies. In this situation, mothers think of reducing the pregnancy. So, can pregnant twins reduce their pregnancy?
Mothers who are pregnant with twins are not recommended to undergo fetal reduction surgery unless there are special circumstances. Because reducing the number of fetuses can easily cause bleeding, damage organs, hinder the growth of another baby, and may also lead to intrauterine infections, affecting the health of the other baby. There is also a certain chance of inducing other complications during the reduction of fetuses. So, if the baby's growth is good and there are no problems with development, it is not recommended to reduce the pregnancy.
If it is due to the mother's own physical condition that she cannot bear the growth of two babies, then this situation requires a detailed evaluation from multiple aspects. The evaluation results show that the situation is indeed not good, and the mother's body cannot support the growth of two fetuses. Then, a reduction surgery should be performed.
If it is necessary to undergo fetal reduction surgery, the best time is between eight to eleven weeks of pregnancy. Because although fetuses under seven weeks have little impact on the mother's body, it is difficult to master the technology during this period, which can easily lead to miscarriage. Fetuses over eleven weeks old, undergoing fetal reduction surgery during this period may cause embryonic necrosis and lead to coagulation dysfunction in the mother.
