One in twins died

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Usually twins have more chances of genetic defects in the embryonic and fetal stages. Hence, their survival will be in danger. Sometimes one of the fetus survives over the other by taking nutrition. Hence their development can be disproportionate and stunted. Hope your second child survives. Take good care of him as they need warmth nutrition and hygiene support. You should consult a pediatrician soon and gauge the situation. Prenatal diagnosis would have helped you knowing genetic defects if any.
