 Most fetuses with triploidy do not survive to birth, and those that do usually die within days.As there is no treatment for triploidy, palliative care is given if a baby survives to birth.If triploidy is diagnosed during the pregnancy, termination is often offered as an option due to the additional health risks for the mother (pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening condition, or choriocarcinoma, a type of cancer).
