Possible compications during twin pregnancy

 

                           Expecting twins to grow your family is an emotional experience.

There is a low chance of conceiving twins naturally, estimated to be 1 of 250 pregnancies. It is more common to expect twins if you had fertility treatment, especially if you had an IVF transfer of two or more embryos. In that case, you would be prepared to hear two heartbeat sounds during the ultrasound. While discovering a natural twin’s pregnancy may be a surprising and sometimes stressful experience.

The symptoms of multiple pregnancies are similar to a single fetus pregnancy; missed period, nausea, headache, frequent urination, and sensitive breasts. Even if your pregnancy symptoms are more intense, they could be signs but not a confirmation of twin pregnancy. The twin’s pregnancy may be confirmed by prenatal ultrasound, not earlier than your 6^th pregnancy week.

However, the twins’ pregnancy may be slightly complicated, so prenatal checkups occur more frequently.

Possible complications associated with a twin pregnancy.

·       High blood pressure.

·       Gestational diabetes.

·       Anemia.

·       Placental abruption.

·       Polyhydramnios.

·       Premature Labor.

I had gestational diabetes discovered in the middle of my second trimester. My health providers strictly monitored it through a connected diabetes tracker. I changed my diet and had to be more active to manage it. For me, it disappears after delivery, but if it is not controlled, you can keep it after delivery.

 

Spotting is more common during twin pregnancies.

Spotting during the first trimester could be undergoing miscarriage. If you are spotting, do not worry. It is not necessary Singh of miscarriage. I had spotting during the first trimester of twin pregnancy. And in this case, there wasn’t anything wrong with my baby.

Although, it does not mean that you have to ignore any spotting or pain during your pregnancy. I recommend that you contact your healthcare provider immediately. If they cannot provide an ultrasound check, you can use private clinic services to ensure everything goes well.
