Multiple Pregnancy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A multiple pregnancy occurs when more than one baby develops in the same pregnancy, as in pregnancies with twins or triplets. It is considered a pregnancy that requires closer monitoring because of the particular challenges it involves for the mother and the babies.
Features and signs: greater-than-expected abdominal growth for the stage of pregnancy, increased pregnancy-related discomfort, and confirmation typically through imaging studies.
When should you see a doctor? From the start of the pregnancy, with more frequent follow-up than usual, to closely monitor the progress of both the mother and the babies.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who manages and monitors a multiple pregnancy throughout the gestation. If you are expecting more than one baby, keeping close and consistent professional care is the best way to look after everyone.
