Treatment of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS)

Observation and Bed Rest

If TTTS occurs during the third trimester, conservative measures and early delivery are usually recommended. As the pregnancy comes closer to term, it may be best to ‘wait and see,’ and to plan early delivery if either twin shows signs of distress.

In this situation, the risks associated with delivering prematurely may be less than the risk of an intervention in the womb.
