We just found out its twins and honestly im happy but also nervous. There are no twins in our family so this was a total surprise. Should i be expecting more checkups and precautions? Any twin mommas here?
Twins do come with a bit higher chance of things like early labour or BP issues, so it's monitored more closely. Please stick to all your appointments and report any swelling, headaches or unusual symptoms to your gynac quickly.
Dont let the word high risk scare you. It just means they watch you a little more carefully, thats a good thing. Eat well, rest, go for all checkups and let your doctor guide you, you've got this.
Twin mama here. Yes they keep an extra eye on you, more scans and checkups, but it's totally manageable. Honestly the real high risk part was surviving the newborn months with two haha. Just follow your doctor and you'll be fine.
My friend had twins and her doctor said it's considered higher risk mainly because of preterm delivery and needing more monitoring. But with regular care most twin pregnancies go well. The extra scans are just precaution.
Generally yes, twins are classed as higher risk so the care is more intensive. But that also means more support and monitoring for you. Best to talk through your specific situation with your gynac.
