Odds of Twins Being Stillborn Posted: 09-24-05 11:14am
Someone I know has a girlfriend who is in
her 30's. She claims to have been
pregnant with twins several years ago and
the twins were stillborn. She claims that
they were strangled by the imbulical cord.
If I remember my biology lessons ...
Twins would each have their own cord. So
the likelyhood of both being strangled by
their own cord is so far remote it would
be almost impossible. Am I right ?? Is
she most likely lying ?

You are right about the cord it is nearly
impossible but it can happen. You are
concidered high risk when it comes to 2 or
more babies, that is why your dr will keep
a close eye on you than if you were
carring a single. I delivered my children
on fathers day (2006) paje and blake. I
was 6 months along. Pre eclampsia also
known as toxima took both of my beautiful
children. There was nothing I did wrong,
it just happened. What god takes away he
gives back double. I just hope he gives
us 1 healthy child!
