Double Trouble..
Pregnancy complications increase when there are two
babies growing inside of you:
• Preeclampsia
• Bleeding before and post delivery
• Symptoms of pregnancy like anemia, exhaustion,
sickness, odema, sleeping problems, shortness of breath
are all heightened
• Pregnancy stress
• Faster and greater weight gain in the early
weeks; the extra weight composes of extra baby, extra
placenta, extra amniotic fluid and extra body fluid.
In the later part of pregnancy, size will make daily
activities laborious
• The odds for a C-section rises
• Preterm labor
• IUGR is at a higher rate when two babies or
more share space; regular ultrasound becomes a must
to keep track of growing babies
