Pregnancy management in multiple or high-risk pregnancies

Fetal reduction is a specialized procedure used in certain multiple pregnancies or complex medical situations where continuing all fetuses may pose significant risk to the mother or remaining babies. The goal is to improve the chances of a healthy outcome for the ongoing pregnancy.

This procedure is usually considered when:

One or more fetuses have severe abnormalities
Continuing the pregnancy poses serious risk to the mother
Medical complications threaten overall pregnancy outcome
