Expert: Lori Ramsey Date: 7/14/2008 Subject: miscarriage of one twin
Question can you miscarry one identical twin and the other one survive
Answer If the identical twin is in their own sac - yes. This actually happens quite often with twins - one will pass on and the other will grow and thrive. If it's very early on - the body just re-absorbs it.
Now if both are in the same sac - I'm not sure the other could survive it - though it may be possible if it happens early on.
