BigMoosie Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 A friend of mine lately told me that his mother had gotten an abortion when she was pregnant with him. Apparently what they thought was a successful abortion only removed his twin and that he was left unnoticed until too late. Is this possible or is he just looking for attention?

Phi for All Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Google "Selective Reduction Abortions". I suppose it could happen by accident as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susu Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 it is possible that a second twin was missed if the mother has a bicornate uterus. I have seen abortions being performed before, and from my experience i find it highly unlikely that the procedure in a "normal" unicavity uterus would not result in any injury to the second unaborted twin. I would logically assume that if somehow (although not plausible) the twin were to survive, it would be completely healthy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i meant to say is that : "....it would NOT be completely healthy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
