Some women may discover twins during examinations after pregnancy, and the incidence of this situation is relatively low. There are two types of twins, namely twins with one placenta and twins with two placenta. There are significant differences between the two, so the precautions during pregnancy are also different. So, what does' twin with one placenta 'mean?
Twins A placenta is identical twins. After the baby is born, the two babies will look the same. When women are pregnant with twins, it is even harder than having a single child, and they face greater risks during pregnancy. So during pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo various examinations on time.
If you are pregnant with identical twins, the fetus will face relatively large health risks, such as twin transfusion syndrome, which is a very dangerous disease, and its incidence rate is relatively high, reaching 15%. This is because two fetuses share a placenta, so blood exchange occurs, leading to twin transfusion syndrome.
Many pregnant women are very happy when they discover that they are carrying twins, but in addition to being happy, they must also take good care of themselves in their daily lives. Because the burden of being pregnant with twins can be heavy and pregnancy reactions can be more pronounced, it is very difficult during pregnancy, and everyone also needs to be alert to various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check ups.
