With the advancement of technology, it is no longer a problem for everyone to have a child. Even for those suffering from infertility, we can obtain a child through in vitro fertilization. Nowadays, many people want twins and feel that they can support each other. Naturally, they also want in vitro twins, but this situation poses great risks to mothers. Let's take a look at the specific risks together.
Risk 1: Pregnancy symptoms are more severe. For expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins, various reactions during pregnancy may be more severe, especially morning sickness, difficulty falling asleep, fatigue, discomfort and pain throughout the body, swelling of hands and feet, and inflexibility. Severe cases may lead to severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, and one can only go to the hospital for intravenous fluids to replenish fluids.
Risk 2: The probability of twin birth defects is higher than that of singleton births. The actual situation is that if you are pregnant with twins, the risk of each baby having a birth defect is about twice as high as when you are pregnant with one baby. If you are older, your chances of giving birth to a malformed baby will be even higher. The risk of undergoing certain screenings while pregnant with twins is also greater, as the screening itself may cause one or both of your babies to miscarry.
Risk 3: The probability of premature birth for twins is higher, with almost half of expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins showing signs of premature birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), which is much higher than the probability of having a first child. Overall, approximately one-third of expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins and experience premature birth ultimately give birth prematurely. But in reality, a full-term pregnancy at 37 weeks is considered, and if both twins are larger, delivery after 36 weeks is also possible.
Actually, having one child is already very difficult, and forcibly having two children is a huge burden for mothers. Therefore, when deciding on twins, everyone must consider their own actual situation.
