What is a Twin Pregnancy?
A twin pregnancy occurs when a woman carries two babies simultaneously. It is a unique and special journey that brings double the joy and excitement — but also requires closer medical supervision to ensure both babies and the mother stay healthy throughout pregnancy.
At Shree Clinic, we provide specialized care for twin pregnancies through comprehensive monitoring, expert guidance, and individualized support from conception to delivery.
Types of Twin Pregnancies
Twin pregnancies can occur in two primary ways:
Fraternal (Dizygotic) Twins:
Two separate eggs are fertilized by two different sperm.
Each baby has its own placenta and amniotic sac.
These twins may look different and can be of different genders.
Identical (Monozygotic) Twins:
One fertilized egg splits into two embryos.
Babies share the same genetic material and are usually of the same gender.
Depending on the timing of the split, twins may share the same placenta and/or amniotic sac.
Symptoms of Twin Pregnancy
A twin pregnancy often brings stronger or earlier symptoms due to higher hormone levels. Common signs include:
- Rapid weight gain in early pregnancy
- More intense nausea or morning sickness
- Increased fatigue
- Faster growth of the uterus
- Feeling fetal movements earlier or in multiple areas
- Higher levels of hCG and other pregnancy hormones on tests
An early ultrasound scan is the most reliable way to confirm a twin pregnancy.
Common Challenges in Twin Pregnancies
While many twin pregnancies progress smoothly, they do require additional monitoring to manage possible risks such as:
- Preterm labor or early delivery
- Low birth weight
- Gestational diabetes or high blood pressure
- Placental complications (such as twin-to-twin transfusion in identical twins)
- Increased risk of cesarean delivery
At Shree Clinic, we focus on preventive monitoring and early detection of potential complications to ensure the best outcomes for both mother and babies.
