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.
