Questions & Answers

My mother had this situation, however she misscarried one and then almost died because they didnt realise there was a twin growing in her tube. She lost her tube but went on to have two more healthy singletons.
She was told even if she didnt misscarry the twin in the womb, she could not have kept it because her body would have naturally expelled the tubal twin pushing that one out with it, or she would have had to have surgery which neither twin would have survived.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for answering. It just scared me a lot when she told me

Thinking about this logically....If one of the babies was an ectopic pregnancy she would be required to have surgery. This would happen very early on in the pregnancy, and therefore the baby in the uterus would be a at an undeniable risk, and therefore, most likely the ectopic pregnancy of one twin would cause the fetal demise of the other, because of the surgery. I am not a physician, nor have I personally known anyone in this particular situation, but the outcome, of loosing both babies, makes sense.

Unless something was wrong with the twin in her uterus I don't see how the tubal pregnancy caused a complication in that..it makes no sense. I know that if you don't get a tubal pregnancy taken care of that your tube can rupture.
