My Wife Is Pregnant With 8 Week And 3 Days,
Question: my wife is pregnant with 8 week and 3 days, Ultrascan shows its a triplet and its formed in the same sac. Doctors also confirmed the same. In this case there is any possibility to reduce to single baby. Any risk ?
Brief Answer:
Procedure is risky and can cause a complete abortion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns.
Selective abortion of one or two fetuses can be done with the help of ultrasound guided injections but it is a risky and invasive procedure and poses a definite risk to all the babies. It can cause a complete abortion also. It is best to avoid taking such a risk.
I hope this answers your query.
