Multiple Birth

Overview

A multiple birth is a medical condition, that means the delivery of more than one baby from a single pregnancy.

The most common multiple pregnancy types include:

  • Two babies(twins)

  • Three babies(triplets)

But some female also experiences higher-order multiple births such as quadruplets, quintuplets, and more are also possible.

During a multiple birth, a woman may experience symptoms that are similar to those of a singleton birth.The twin pregnancy delivery symptoms can vary between individuals, and not everyone experiences the same symptoms. The symptoms of multiple-birth pregnancy include:

  • Increased Morning Sickness:In multiple-birth pregnancies, the morning sickness such as nausea and vomiting might be more intense compared to single-birth pregnancy.

  • Increased Fatigue:Mom-to-be may experience increased fatigue and exhaustion due to carrying multiple babies.

  • Rapid Weight Gain:Because of the presence of more than one baby, the female may experience rapid gain in weight.

  • Larger Abdominal Size:The size of the abdomen in multiple birth pregnancies might appear larger than single a birth pregnancy, especially in the later stages.

  • Stronger and More Frequent Fetal Movements:Compared to single birth, in multiple birth pregnancies, the movements of the fetus can be more stronger and frequent.

  • More Severe Backache and Pelvic Pain:The additional weight and strain of multiple babies on the body can lead to severe pain in the back as well as pelvic area discomfort.

  • Increased Hormonal Changes:Females with multiple births might experience increased changes in hormones due to the presence of multiple placentas and fetuses.

  • Increased Shortness of Breath:To accommodate multiple babies, the uterus expands and it can put more pressure on the diaphragm and lungs. So, women with multiple birth pregnancies may experience increased and frequent shortness of breath.

  • Premature Contractions:Women with multiple births may experience premature contractions in pregnancy.

Regular care, checkups, and treatment of multiple pregnancies at the best hospital for multiple births in Gurgaon throughout a multiple pregnancy is essential to monitor the health of both the mother and the babies.

Various factors cause the occurrence of multiple births. Here are some of the main causes:

  • Genetics: Women with a family history of multiple births such as twins or triplets can increase the possibility of having a multiple birth pregnancy.

  • Maternal Age: Women with age more than 30 years are more likely to release multiple eggs during ovulation which increases the chance of conceiving fraternal twins.

  • Fertility Treatments: Women who undergo fertility treatments to increase the chance of pregnancy such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) are more likely to have multiple births. The procedure of IVF involves the transfer of multiple embryos into the uterus and this can lead to the conception of twins, triplets, or more.

  • Heredity: Women from specific ethnic backgrounds such as African-Americans have a higher possibility of having twins.

  • Previous Pregnancies: Women with multiple births during previous pregnancies might have an increased chance of having twins or triplets in subsequent pregnancies.

  • Body Mass Index (BMI): Women with an increased value of BMI might have an increased chance of having twins.

If you have concerns about multiple births, it's a good idea to discuss with the best gynecology doctor at the best hospital for multiple births in Gurgaon.

If you are suspected of multiple births, then your obstetrician will use a combination of different diagnostic methods to confirm the diagnosis and provide appropriate care to manage the multiple birth complications.

Here are some diagnostic approaches for multiple births:

  • Physical Examination: During the physical examination, your gynecologist might detect various multiple pregnancies including an unusually large uterus or multiple heartbeats.

  • Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Test: The AFP blood test is used to measure the AFP levels in the blood of the mother. The increased level of alpha-fetoprotein might indicate the presence of multiple births.

  • Maternal Serum Screening: The Maternal Serum Screening blood test measures multiple substances in the blood of the mother to analyze the risks of certain complications, including multiple pregnancies.

  • Hormone Levels: The blood tests are conducted to measure the level of HCG hormone. The elevated levels of hormones Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) may indicate a multiple pregnancy.

  • Ultrasound: Ultrasound is considered the most effective and reliable method to diagnose a multiple-birth pregnancy. With the help of USG, doctors can detect multiple fetuses, and their positions, and identify whether they are identical or fraternal twins.

  • Doppler Heartbeat Count: During your prenatal visit, to listen to the heartbeats of the fetus, your gynecologist can use a Doppler device. The presence of more than one heartbeat indicates the presence of multiple births.

  • Previous Ultrasound History: Your gynecologist will study the previous ultrasounds. If those ultrasound results showed more than one fetus, then she will use this information to confirm the presence of a multiple pregnancy.
