Fetal reduction, also known as selective fetal reduction or multifetal pregnancy reduction, is a medical procedure that reduces the number of fetuses in a multiple pregnancy. It is typically performed during the first or early second trimester, but can be performed later when indicated.
Health of the pregnant person: Carrying multiple fetuses can increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, preterm labor, and preterm delivery. Reducing the number of fetuses can lower these risks.
Health of the fetuses: Multiple pregnancies also carry higher risks for the fetuses, including premature birth, low birth weight, and developmental problems. Fetal reduction can increase the chances of healthy outcomes for the remaining fetuses.
Personal or ethical reasons: Some people may have personal or ethical concerns about carrying multiple fetuses to term and may choose fetal reduction for these reasons.
