What should twin pregnancy pay attention to?

There are two fetuses at a time, which is called twin pregnancy. Twin pregnancy can give birth to two lovely babies at a time, but it also has serious early pregnancy reaction, which lasts for a long time, edema and varicose veins of lower limbs, polyhydramnios and anemia. Delivery can lead to prolonged labor, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, high neonatal mortality, abnormal fetal position, umbilical cord prolapse and dystocia.

Attention should be paid to twin pregnancy: strengthen nutrition and rest. Twin needs more nutrition than singleton, and the blood volume is significantly increased than singleton. Therefore, anemia is prone to occur. Pregnant women should try to eat nutritious food, especially iron-containing food, and supplement iron appropriately to prevent anemia. Special attention should also be paid to diet regulation and adequate sleep to ensure good health. Regular prenatal examination and strengthening prenatal monitoring are beneficial for doctors to find abnormalities early and deal with them properly. Twins are prone to premature delivery, so they should be hospitalized in advance to avoid accidents.

Twins can usually be delivered through the vagina. In a few cases, due to the excessive expansion of the uterus, the contractility is very poor. When postpartum hemorrhage and abnormal fetal position occur, cesarean section is needed for delivery.
