Reduction from triplets to twins

Hello,
Last week we had to make the horrible/emergency decision to reduce our pregnancy from identical triplets to twins due to fetus to fetus transfusion between Baby B and C. Baby C was dying and if we didn’t act then the other two would be badly damaged or die. I’m nearly a week post op and I now petrified of having a miscarriage. I was 17 weeks pregnant and was told there is a 10% chance of losing the pregnancy over the next month. I was also told that due to the low heart rate of Baby C that Baby B and possibly Baby A might have some brain damage (6%) and I’ll need an MRI scan at 24 weeks.

I am looking to see if anyone has experienced something similar and/or has positive stories/outcomes.

Many thanks x

Poor you, what a terrible thing to go through. I don't have any experience but I know there is a multiples board on here and maybe some of them have had experience with this.
