Understanding What Vanishing Twin Syndrome Is

By Kenneth Edwards


Some people like to try to take matters into their own hands when it comes to their medical care. It is always going to be better to see a real doctor so that they can actually tell what might be wrong with you. If you think it is vanishing twin syndrome, it is always best to get the doctor's advice since that's what it might actually be, or else it might even be something more serious.

The best way to get quick basic information on this subject is by going online. You can watch videos if that is the way you prefer to learn about things, and there certainly are a lot of resources out there to help you out that way. If reading articles is more the way that you like to absorb information, you will find a wealth of these as well that really break down and explain what is happening when this phenomenon occurs.

It is always important to remember that the surviving fetus might experience some health risks. There can be a higher risk of cerebral palsy in this child. The risk generally only applied when the syndrome has occurred late in the pregnancy.

There are a few different symptoms that an expecting mother can look out for in order to be aware of this condition when it might be occurring. Some common things to look for are cramps in the uterine area, pain in the pelvis, as well as bleeding. If any combination of this occurs, it might be time to ask the doctor what to do.

It is an unfortunate thing that so many people who go through this end up blaming themselves for it. There is no need to add to the weight of the tragedy that has occurred, so finding some way of letting go of any self-blame one might feel is important. There is nothing you could have done, so you and certainly the surviving child has nothing at all to feel bad about.

Those who feel shaken by this experience and do not feel like they have anyone to talk to might check out all the support groups that are out there. That way, you can chat with those who have had similar experiences. There is something that really helps you heal when you talk to these kinds of people.

There are many mysteries surrounding this syndrome. No one really knows why it happens. While there are warning signs early on, there is nothing to really say for certain what would cause it to happen, although it might be something to do with the fetus that ends up disappearing not getting a steady flow of nutrients.

In some cases, there might be multiple twins disappearing. This is, naturally, when a parent is having triplets, quadruplets, or above. These cases are of course much rarer, but they have been known to happen.
