   What is the risk of stillbirth if a mum has twins?

   • The risk of stillbirth in twins increases slightly after 38 weeks. So if a mum hasn’t already had twins by the time she is 38 weeks pregnant, a caesarean or induced labour is usually suggested. This is especially the case with identical twins, as sharing a placenta increases the risk of a baby being stillborn.

   What if a Mum hasn't already had twins?

   • So if a mum hasn’t already had twins by the time she is 38 weeks pregnant, a caesarean or induced labour is usually suggested. This is especially the case with identical twins, as sharing a placenta increases the risk of a baby being stillborn. That’s why it’s often recommended that twins are born by 37 weeks.

   What happens if a twin shares a placenta?

   • In identical twins who share a placenta, there is potential for twin to twin transfusion syndrome. This is when one twin is left with a greater volume of blood than the other, increasing the risk of a miscarriage or a stillbirth. It is normal to feel sad, angry and scared after a miscarriage at any stage of pregnancy.

   Can a twin have a miscarriage?

   • The risk of losing a baby in the first two trimesters of a twin pregnancy is slightly higher than with a single pregnancy. For identical twins, this risk is raised a little further because they share a placenta, and may share an amniotic sac too. Even so, miscarriage after 12 weeks and before 24 weeks ( late miscarriage) is very unlikely to happen.

   What is the risk of a miscarriage in a twin pregnancy?

   • The risk of losing a baby in the first two trimesters of a twin pregnancy is slightly higher than with a single pregnancy. And this risk is increased for twins who share a placenta and/or an amniotic sac (identical twins). A miscarriage after 12 weeks and before 24 weeks (late miscarriage) is much less likely to happen.

   What is the risk of a stillborn baby?

   • As women grow older, the risk of having a stillborn baby increases. The risk for older mums appears to be highest at around 41 weeks. So in some hospitals, older mums-to-be may be recommended to have their labour induced at 39 weeks or 40 weeks, before or on their due date. Very rarely, a baby may be stillborn at the very end of pregnancy.

   One potential problem for identical twins (babies sharing a placenta) is twin to twin transfusion syndrome, where abnormal connecting blood vessels in the placenta leaves one baby with a greater volume of blood than the other. It carries a high risk of miscarriage or stillbirth if left undetected and untreated.

   While the cause of death in many stillbirths cannot be established, stillbirth rates can be lowered thanks to early detection of maternal conditions like diabetes, and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies. Jacqueline says, “It’s believed one third of these heartbreaking losses can be prevented.”.

    If you are expecting twins or more, and the death of one baby has been discovered, your doctor may advise you not to have an induction of labour. A lot will depend on your particular circumstances: whether or not your babies share a placenta, and at what stage the loss occurred.
