Twin Pregnancy: Identical vs Fraternal Twins | Dr. Padmapriya | Gleneagles Hospitals, Chennai

A twin pregnancy is a joyful experience, but it also comes with unique challenges. At Gleneagles Hospital, Chennai, we understand the importance of providing specialized care to women with twin pregnancies. Subscribe this channel:    / @gleneagleshospitalsindia   Types of Twin Pregnancies There are two main types of twin pregnancies: Identical Twins: These twins develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two. They share the same DNA and are always of the same sex. Fraternal Twins: These twins develop from two separate eggs, each fertilized by a different sperm. They are genetically different and can be of the same or different sexes. Monitoring Twin Pregnancies At Gleneagles Hospital, Chennai, we closely monitor twin pregnancies to ensure the health of both the mother and the babies. This includes: Frequent Antenatal Check-ups: Regular visits to your doctor are crucial to monitor your health and the growth of the babies. Ultrasound Scans: Ultrasound scans help us assess the growth, development, and position of the babies. Blood Tests: Blood tests help monitor your health and identify any potential complications. Cervical Length Check: We may monitor the length of your cervix to assess the risk of preterm labor. Potential Complications While most twin pregnancies have positive outcomes, there are potential complications, such as: Preterm Labor: Twin pregnancies often result in early labor. Growth Differences: One twin may grow faster or slower than the other. Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome: In identical twins, one twin may receive more blood flow than the other. Placental Complications: Issues with the placenta can affect the health of the babies. Delivery Most twin pregnancies are delivered by cesarean section, especially if there are complications or if the babies are not positioned head-down. However, in some cases, vaginal delivery may be possible, particularly if both babies are head-down and positioned correctly. At Gleneagles Hospital, Chennai, our experienced team of obstetricians and gynecologists, led by Dr. Padmapriya Vivek, will guide you through your twin pregnancy, providing the necessary care and support to ensure a healthy outcome for you and your babies. If you are pregnant with twins, please consult with your doctor or book an appointment at Gleneagles Hospital, Chennai.
