What To Expect From A Twin Pregnancy
from: Sarah MitchellImagine wishing and trying for one baby and ending up with two!
Statistics show that there has been an increase in twin pregnancy the
past few years and this short guide should answer any questions you
have to giving birth to multiples!
How do twins begin?
There are two kinds of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. In
the case of identical twins, the egg is fertilized and then splits into
two cells. Each cell carries identical DNA and so both children will
look exactly the same with only slight differences such as height or
birthmarks. Fraternal twins are not identical. Instead of having one
egg that splits into two, there are two eggs that are fertilized by two
different sperm at the same time so they could be of two different
sexes with different physical characteristics.
Early signs of twin pregnancy
An early sign of twin pregnancy is excessive morning sickness and
extreme fatigue. Morning sickness is common with all pregnant mothers
but those who are giving birth to multiples tend to experience more
morning sickness than usual. Exhaustion is another early sign of twin
pregnancy. Again, it is not uncommon for pregnant women to be more
tired than usual but those who are having twins tend to undergo
enhanced exhaustion. Twins are hereditary and so if you are feeling
excessively tired, are often nauseous and twins run in your family, you
very well could be giving birth to multiples!
Twin pregnancy facts
With twins, you’ll have to prepare for double the trouble! This means
you will probably be gaining more weight than with a single pregnancy.
Due to this extra weight, a pregnancy with twins can often be more
uncomfortable – severe exhaustion, stronger backaches and headaches,
etc. So get plenty of sleep and rest. Try a pregnancy massage, a great
stress reliever to those giving birth to multiples. Also be prepared
for a possible c-section, as with multiples this is the more common way
of giving birth. Because a twin pregnancy is considered a high risk
pregnancy, you will probably need to consult your obstetrician more
often than if you were having a regular pregnancy. Do not be fazed as
this is quite common with twins.
Having a twin pregnancy is most certainly a mixed blessing.
Whilst having two children is an amazing experience, the pregnancy
itself can be tough so make sure to take care of yourself.
