Hi
No its not doctor fault because Inj Betamethasone is very safe and we give it to mother to improve the lung maturity of fetus.you said it was one placenta so they were Monochorionic twins. Complications and neonatal problem are high in such twins so they must have died due to some intra uterine causes not doctor fault
thanks
