If a pregnant woman is found to have twin pregnancy during early prenatal check ups, it will undoubtedly make people very happy. After all, being able to give birth to two babies during one pregnancy will also make many people envious. But expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins can also work very hard, so how many weeks are suitable for single velvet twins?
1. Single velvet twins refer to two embryos formed by the differentiation of a fertilized egg, resulting in two fetuses of the same gender and identical appearance during subsequent growth and development.
2. Due to growing in the same amniotic cavity and sharing the same placenta, it is also prone to pregnancy complications, as well as causing entanglement and knotting of the fetal umbilical cord, and even leading to nutritional deficiencies, hypoxia, and other symptoms in one fetus due to mutual compression. Therefore, pregnant women with single velvet twins need to pay more attention to prenatal examinations and strengthen prenatal monitoring.
3. The expected delivery period for women is at 40 weeks of pregnancy, but full-term pregnancy occurs at 37 weeks or more. However, women with singleton twin pregnancies often experience various serious discomforts in the late stages of pregnancy, so most choose to undergo cesarean section delivery after 37 weeks of pregnancy.
4. If there are factors that are not conducive to continuing the pregnancy before 37 weeks of gestation, the fetus can be removed through surgery according to the specific situation before this gestational week to ensure the health of the mother and twin pregnancy.
