Better to get a fetal reduction done now. And doing a fetal reduction always carries a 5% risk of pregnancy loss.

It's a choice.
Both are not wrong.
Fetal reduction reduces risk of increased fluid formation and early delivery associated with anencephaly and twins
Fetal reduction on the other hand is a costly procedure with risk of spontaneous miscarriage for the normal twin.
Hence you need to weigh pros n cons yourself.. and decide.
Best wishes and prayers.
