Is it possible to miscarry one twin and keep the other?

It is very possible that it was a twin. What has happened is that you had non-identical twins that formed in separate amniotic sacs. Which means when you got pregnant there were two eggs released. This is very common. My grandmother had it happen to her, but later on in the pregnancy. There was obviously something wrong with the one fetus that the body rejected it early to give the other twin a better chance. Because they are in separate amniotic sacs. The other baby was not affected by the miscarriage.

I already have one daughter, I got pregnant a second time and when I was 5 weeks pregnant I had alot of cramping and a lot of bleeding. I thought for sure it was a miscarriage and I didn't think I was pregnant anymore. I did not gain weight but felt unusual and didn't get my period back, so…

Vanishing Twin Syndrome – Loss of One Baby in a Multiple Pregnancy

By Krissi Danielsson, About.com

Updated: January 15, 29

Vanishing twin syndrome is a term for the disappearance of one developing baby in a multiple pregnancy. A mom might have an early ultrasound that detects two gestational sacs. But later on, only one fetal heartbeat is detectable and the second sac has disappeared (or one normally developing baby is present alongside a blighted ovum).

Some texts use the term “vanishing twin” for any pregnancy in which one baby in a multiple pregnancy is lost while the other survives, even if the twin has not technically vanished.

Statistics:

Research suggests that vanishing twin syndrome will occur in roughly a third of pregnancies in which an early ultrasound detects two or more developing babies. Researchers suspect, however, that vanishing twin syndrome may frequently occur without detection. Clinical estimates suggest that between 0.9% to 9.5% of pregnancies may begin as twin pregnancies even if only one baby is ultimately born.

In multiple pregnancies that have continued beyond 20 weeks, researchers estimate that about 2.6% of twin gestations and 4.3% of triplet gestations will be affected by fetal death.

Symptoms of Vanishing Twin Syndrome:

In very early cases of vanishing twin syndrome, the woman might never know that the condition occurred. In other cases, the loss of the twin might be accompanied by some miscarriage symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and hCG levels that rise more slowly than in normally developing twin pregnancies.

Causes:

Some cases of vanishing twin syndrome occur because of chromosomal abnormalities in the lost baby, but researchers do not fully understand why one twin is lost in other cases of vanishing twin syndrome. There’s no reason to believe that the condition occurs because of anything the mother or anyone else does or does not do.

Complications for the Surviving Baby:

In most cases of vanishing twin syndrome, the surviving baby is not adversely affected.

Coping with Vanishing Twin Syndrome:

If you have been diagnosed with vanishing twin, you probably have a lot of mixed emotions. It’s normal to grieve the baby you lost while also feeling relief that you are still pregnant with the viable baby. You should not feel that you have to pick and choose between your emotions. No rules say you cannot be sad and happy at the same time, and you shouldn’t feel that you are dishonoring either baby if you go through a normal grieving process while continuing to eagerly anticipate your viable baby.

Yes it is possible actually like 3/8 pregnancies start out as twins but one simply doesn’t develop or miscarries.And this all happens without knowing most of the time.

This is extremely common and could very well have been a twin. My mom had the exact same thing happen when she was pregnant with me.

yes very possible. I was supposed to be a twin and my mother misscarried the other baby.

Yes it is possible. i was a twin but my brother died and i almost did but survived. i hope you didn’t though.Good Luck!

Yes, it’s possible and actually happens quite frequently.

no it probably was just implantation bleeding sometimes it can be heavy but most times it’s light i recently had heavy vaginal bleeding when i was 4 weeks along and it was very heavy they said it was either a threatened miscarriage or just heavy implantation bleeding so i doubt it was a twin just relax and congrats im 11 weeks along
