What is a Twin Pregnancy?

A twin pregnancy happens when a woman carries two babies in her womb at the same time. It can occur in two ways and both types of twin pregnancies require extra care and monitoring to ensure the best outcomes.

Care during a Twin Pregnancy at LifePlus Hospital

  • Frequent ultrasounds to track each baby’s growth, position, and health.
  • Monitoring for twin pregnancy complications like preterm labour, gestational diabetes, or anaemia or preeclampsia.
  • Monitoring for preterm labour, as twin pregnancies often lead to early delivery.
  • During a twin pregnancy, the cervix (the opening of the uterus) may become
    weaker due to the added pressure of carrying two babies. This condition, known as cervical insufficiency, can increase the risk of preterm labour or pregnancy loss.
  • A cervical stitch is a surgical procedure that uses a strong thread to reinforce the cervix, ensuring its closure and supporting pregnancy until delivery.

Several factors can increase the likelihood of having twins, including:

  • Genetics: A family history of twins increases the chances.
  • Maternal age: Women over 30, particularly those in their late 30s, are more likely to conceive twins.
  • Fertility treatments: Use of fertility medications or assisted reproductive technologies (like IVF) can increase the likelihood of multiple pregnancies.
  • Number of previous pregnancies: Women who have had multiple pregnancies before are more likely to have twins.
