In reply to Michael Ray Overby. Hi Michael, Thank you for your message. I actually had a mfm specialist/fetal surgeon read through this article before publishing it, but it must have escaped her notice. I'll edit the article. Thanks for drawing my attention to this.

Newly diagnosed Stage One cases need Sono updates no less often than every 72 Hours for at least 2 weeks. Inpatient Observation for 4 to 7 days, with Daily Comprehensive Sono, is not excessive, & often proves Prudent for the newly diagnosed cases. Note that Stable Stage One cases are fairly Rare.

Thanks again Kate.

Hi Kate,
You’ve got an Obsolete Datum in your description of Quintero Stage One, that Should read “There sometimes is a size discordancy observed. However, most cases of TTTS do Not have this Sign. Size Discordancy is not considered to be Strongly Associated with TTTS, & the diagnosis of it is based on Fluidic Discordancy Only…”

Thank you again for this Top Quality & most Informative site.
Your efforts are deeply appreciated.
