Pregnancy Multiple

Multiple pregnancy is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It occurs when two or more fetuses develop in a woman's body. In this case, the fetus can be either the same or different sex.

The causes of multiple pregnancies can be different, but most often it is associated with hereditary factors, such as the presence of multiple pregnancies in the parents, the presence of chromosomal abnormalities, hereditary diseases, etc. Multiple pregnancies can also occur as a result of artificial insemination.

In most cases, multiple pregnancies proceed normally and do not cause serious complications for the mother and fetus. However, there are certain risks associated with multiple pregnancies, such as an increased risk of complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, intrauterine death of one or more fetuses, etc...

During multiple pregnancies, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the mother and fetus, and also take timely measures to prevent possible complications. In some cases, special treatment may be required to maintain the pregnancy and ensure normal development of the fetus.

Multiple pregnancy is a complex condition that requires constant monitoring and control by doctors. Therefore, if a multiple pregnancy occurs, it is important to contact a specialist to receive qualified help and recommendations.

A multiple pregnancy is a pregnancy when two or more fetuses develop simultaneously in the uterus. In the medical literature, the term “polyphonic” is also used to denote the term “multiple”, which comes from the Greek word πολυ - “many”. Carrying and giving birth to several children at the same time is called multiutery. According to statistics, there are about 15% of cases of multiple pregnancies, of which 1/3 are twins. 20% of multiple pregnancies are triplets. Quadruplets are born in 5% of cases. Pregnancy with twins can proceed normally, but a number of complications may arise, such as: problems with the woman’s health, the risk of premature birth and termination of pregnancy with one fetus. The causes of multiple births are not fully understood. It is believed that the body can produce several eggs at the same time and fertilization occurs simultaneously or re-fertilization of an already fertilized cell occurs. In addition, some doctors associate this phenomenon with certain heredity, stress and infections.
