Twin Pregnancy Care – Expert Care for a Healthy Mother and Babies
A twin pregnancy is a joyful experience that requires specialized medical care and close monitoring to ensure the best possible outcome for both the mother and babies. At ASCAS Fertility and Women's Centre
Dr. Aishwarya Parthasarathy , Consultant Gynecologist, Fertility Specialist, and Laparoscopic Surgeon, provides comprehensive care for women expecting twins, from early pregnancy through delivery and postpartum recovery.
What is a Twin Pregnancy?
A twin pregnancy occurs when a woman carries two babies at the same time. Twins may be:
Identical (Monozygotic) Twins : Developed from a single fertilized egg that divides into two embryos.
Fraternal (Dizygotic) Twins: Developed from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm.
Twin pregnancies are more common in women undergoing fertility treatments such as ovulation induction, IUI, or IVF.
Why Does a Twin Pregnancy Need Special Care?
Twin pregnancies are considered high-risk because both the mother and babies require additional monitoring. Regular antenatal visits help identify potential complications early and ensure timely intervention.
