>Dear Dr. Marchbein,

Thanks for replying. I am confused. I have been told two different things. First that the uneffected fetus usually does just fine. Second, that while the "effected" fetus is being absorbed, there is a great chance we could lose the other fetus... I am now on semi-bedrest. I am really nervous to lose this other fetus. I have a history of placenta-previa. I remember how hard his bedrest is to do. Even harder now w/ two kids. Thanks again, Angela >--
