Abortion for twin pregnancy

In fact, the probability of getting pregnant with twins is relatively low in life, and the probability of most people getting pregnant with twins is closely related to genetic factors. Therefore, when people are diagnosed with twins after pregnancy, they generally choose to keep the children. Only when there are some unavoidable reasons will they choose to abort the children. After all, it is a pity to abort twins. So is it dangerous to have an abortion when pregnant with twins?

1 Is it easy to have miscarriage when pregnant with twins?

The chance of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy with twins is similar to that of a singleton pregnancy, but the chance of miscarriage in the late stages of pregnancy is higher than that of a singleton pregnancy.

The incidence of early miscarriage in expectant mothers of twins is no higher than that in expectant mothers of singletons. However, due to the high incidence of pregnancy complications and the high risk of late miscarriage and therapeutic abortion, regular prenatal examinations should be strictly performed during pregnancy to detect possible complications as early as possible, initiate early treatment, and reduce possible risks.

2 Precautions for pregnant women with twins

1. Do a good job of prenatal check-up

Clinically, twin pregnancies are prone to complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth, malposition of the fetus, anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, polyhydramnios, etc., especially in the late pregnancy, acute polyhydramnios, premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa, etc. After these diseases occur, the health of the mother and the fetus may be affected at the mildest, and the life safety of the mother and the fetus may be endangered at the worst. Therefore, pregnant mothers carrying twins need to have more prenatal examinations than ordinary pregnant women. Regular prenatal examinations can detect abnormal conditions early, provide timely treatment, and avoid accidents.

During the first 4-6 months of pregnancy, pregnant mothers of twins generally need to go to the hospital once every two weeks, and in the following months they may have to go to the hospital once a week. Regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy are very important. Twin pregnancies are prone to pregnancy-induced hypertension, which is manifested by unexplained hypertension, edema, and proteinuria. In severe cases, it can induce eclampsia and convulsions, seriously endangering the lives of pregnant women and babies. In addition to paying attention to rest, women pregnant with twins should sleep no less than 10 hours a day, and it is best to sleep in the left side position. They should also go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups more often to detect the disease early and receive early treatment.

2. Gain Weight

Every pregnant mother usually gains weight during pregnancy. Appropriate weight gain is important for the baby's health. It is generally ideal not to gain more than 15 kilograms during pregnancy. The specific value varies depending on each person's pre-pregnancy BMI index, and the amount of weight gain during pregnancy also varies. Pregnant women carrying twins will gain more weight than pregnant women carrying one baby, but not as much as most people imagine. The weight gain of pregnant women carrying twins generally ranges from 15.8 to 20.4 kg, which is only about 4.5 kg more than when carrying one child. Gaining too much weight can increase your chances of pregnancy complications, including having to undergo a cesarean section. While some twins are indeed born at full term, about half are born before 37 weeks. This means that in the same amount of time, pregnant women with twins will gain more weight than mothers carrying a single baby.

3. Supplement more nutrition and water

A mother needs to support the growth of two lives, and you will need more vitamin B, calcium, iron, protein and other basic nutrients.

① Pregnant mothers with twins should strengthen their diet to prevent the occurrence of anemia during pregnancy. The blood volume of women with twin pregnancies is significantly higher than that of women with single pregnancies, and the demand for iron is also higher, so anemia often occurs in the early stages. To prevent anemia, in addition to strengthening nutrition and eating fresh lean meat, eggs, milk, fish, animal liver, and vegetables and fruits, you should also supplement iron appropriately every day.

② Pregnant mothers with twins need more calories, protein, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients to ensure the growth and development of two fetuses.

③Supplement more calcium under the doctor's advice.

④ It is very important for pregnant mothers with twins to drink plenty of water during pregnancy. If they are dehydrated, the risk of premature uterine contractions and premature birth will increase. It is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water every day. You can always keep an extra-large glass or plastic water bottle filled with water with you, so that you can drink water all day long.

In addition, pregnancy reactions are often more severe when pregnant with twins. Therefore, the diet should be easy to digest and absorb, and eat less or no spicy food.

4. Pay attention to rest and go to hospital for delivery as soon as possible

The uterus of twins grows more rapidly and significantly than that of a single fetus, especially after 24 weeks of pregnancy. In the late stages of pregnancy, it is easy to develop compression symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, lower limb edema and varicose veins. During the labor period, the uterus is prone to weak contractions and delayed labor. It may also cause prepartum hemorrhage due to early placental detachment. It may also cause postpartum hemorrhage due to excessive elongation of the uterus, an enlarged placenta, and poor postpartum uterine contraction. Therefore, you should pay attention to avoid fatigue in the late pregnancy. After 30 weeks of pregnancy, you need to rest in bed more, which is beneficial for relieving compression symptoms, increasing blood flow to the uterus, increasing fetal weight and preventing premature birth. If conditions permit, pregnant women should be hospitalized as soon as possible to prepare for delivery. This can ensure that pregnant women get enough rest and reduce the occurrence of premature birth, so as to ensure a smooth delivery.
