Twin pregnancy with CHMF (complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with a live twin fetus) resulting in a healthy takehome baby is rare, with only 56 cases documented in detail in the literature. CHMF cases are rare(1 in 22000 to 1 in 100000 pregnancies) and at high risk of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal death, bleeding, preeclampsia, Persistent Trophoblastic Disease (PTD). We reported a case of complete hydatidiform mole with a healthy infant delivered at term. The natural course of these pregnancies is unpredictable, with 60% going beyond 28 weeks. Length of pregnancy has no impact on complications like persistent trophoblastic disease3 or malignant sequelae. Favorable response to chemotherapy in gestational trophoblastic disease is another factor favoring a conservative approach.
