Frequent Check-ups for Twin Pregnancies;
To be sure that any complications are detected and treated as soon as possible, you will be checked out more frequently than in a single pregnancy.
Regular prenatal visits will allow the growth of your womb to be checked. To make sure that both babies are growing, several ultrasound scans will be performed throughout the pregnancy.
Eating a good balanced diet and getting extra rest are important. You will be given iron supplements and vitamins to stop anaemia developing.
When twins share either a sac or an afterbirth, you will be offered particularly careful ultrasound scans between 18 and 24 weeks, as a fast build-up of fluid can occur at this time. If the twins are in different sacs but share an afterbirth, a build-up of fluid is usually due to one twin getting a better blood supply than the other. This is called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The condition must be treated, usually by withdrawing some of the fluid through a needle.
