Understanding Multiple Pregnancy

A multiple pregnancy occurs when a woman is carrying more than one fetus in her uterus. Twins, triplets, and higher-order multiples present unique challenges and considerations compared to singleton pregnancies, including increased risks of complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and gestational diabetes.

Our Approach to Management

Our experienced team of obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and perinatal nurses take a collaborative and personalized approach to managing multiple pregnancies. We offer thorough evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing support to ensure the best possible outcomes for both mother and babies.

Components of Management

• Comprehensive Prenatal Care: We provide comprehensive prenatal care for expectant mothers carrying multiple pregnancies, including regular check-ups, screenings, and diagnostic tests to monitor the health and development of both mother and babies.
• Monitoring for Complications: We closely monitor for potential complications associated with multiple pregnancies, such as preterm labor, preeclampsia, and fetal growth restriction. Early detection and intervention can help mitigate risks and improve outcomes.
• Specialized Testing: We offer specialized testing, such as ultrasound scans and fetal monitoring, to assess the growth and well-being of each baby and monitor for signs of complications.
• Counseling and Education: We provide counseling and education to expectant parents about the unique challenges and considerations of multiple pregnancies, including nutritional needs, physical activity, and preparation for labor and delivery.
• Prevention and Management of Preterm Birth: We focus on strategies to prevent and manage preterm birth, which is more common in multiple pregnancies. This may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and interventions to prolong pregnancy and optimize fetal lung development.
