I will be frank with you, I have only seen one case in my 20+ years of training and practice. It did not end very favorably as the mom did abort about 20+ weeks and eventually had to have a hysterectomy as she had persistent trophoblastic disease. I am not telling you this to scare you, but would suggest you research this fully before making any final decision.
