<s>[INST] Good morning. My daughter 23 yrs old now pregnant. 3 days back we did scan and found she is having twins. one is 10 weeks 5 days with 173 hear beat and another one is 9 weeks and dont have heart beat. The Dr opinioned that this is not good and better to abort both to save the mother. we took her to another GYn dr and she advised to take a Dopler scan. after scan she found that the babies are with seperate placenta and at present there is no risk and we can decide after two weeks. she also said she treated some cases like this and they delivered the live baby and the other one reabsorb itself or come out with out making any harm to the other child. i am in total distress and dont know how to handle the situation. my anxity is is it safe to wait for 2 weeks. will it harm my daughter any way. my daughter got married last year and felt very happy on hearing the conceived news. now she is very much worried about her fate. pl reply [/INST] Hi, It is absolutely safe for her to continue the pregnancy. Sometimes it so happens that a twin pregnancy initially, gets converted to a singleton. It will not affect your daughter as It's too early in pregnancy at 9 weeks that she has lost one twin, this as said by the doctor will get reabsorbed, and not cause any harm to her. Ask her to go regular 2 weekly scans as this will reduce her anxiety. Also, she should not take stress as this could affect her pregnancy. Hope this helps. Regards. </s>
