Patient's question:
At 50 days of pregnancy, I experienced signs of miscarriage. At 23 weeks, I had a color ultrasound, and the doctor said there was a (accessory placenta). Is it possible that it was originally twins, and one twin stopped developing due to the signs of miscarriage, leaving only one baby? Or what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Aplacenta is a type of placental growth abnormality. It has no relation to twins. If a gestational sac is observed during early pregnancy, it can rule out the possibility of twins. The cause of aplacenta is unknown, and it generally does not grow or increase in size in the short term. It has little to no significant impact on the pregnant woman or the fetus. Mostplacenta will be expelled along with the placenta after the baby is born, so there is no need to worry.
