Answer:

I receive many emails from women who were told they were having twins, but later found that they were only expecting one baby. In recent years, enhanced use of ultrasound early in pregnancy has increased the frequency of diagnosis of twin pregnancy, and unfortunately, has produced a heightened awareness of the phenomenon of Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS). Please consult the Vanishing Twin Syndrome FAQ for more information.
