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.

What many parents are concerned about is whether or not this poses any health risks to the surviving child. When the answer is yes, it usually means that this happened later on in the pregnancy. Even then, the child born is usually completely healthy, but in some cases, there is an increased risk of cerebral palsy.

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.

Something that often ends up happening is the mother will end up blaming herself. In other cases, the child might hear that this has happened and will blame him or herself. There is no reasonable way to say that this is the fault of anyone, so it is best to try to let that tendency to lay blame or feel guilt be put aside.

It is a good thing that there are so many great support groups out there for people who have gone through this. When you can share your pain and other emotions with other people who have had the same experience, it can be quite moving. With the help of online resources, you can also reach out to people from long distances like never before.

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.
