POSSIBILITY TO HAVE TWIN BABY
Many woman have a dream for having twin baby (or more). The fact of plural
pregnancy proceeds is more difficult and also requires special care. Some troubles
are overpass with some certain aureole of heroism also a siwsh for take paint.
The statistic for the last 20 years about birth to twins, triplets or more is
increased significantly. About 0,5% until 2% of woman already have birth of
twins, triplets, and more seldom four or five babies.
For have a twin babies, there are several factors to know about :
- The Age of Mother
This is one of the reasons of increasing amount of twins’ birth –
a worldwide tendency to late deliveries. A probability of birth of two and
more babies increases, if a mother is older than 35 years. (By the way, this
chance increases even more after 50 years). Unfortunately, if you’re
less than 25 years, your chances are half of chances of those who are 35.
The matter is that with age, ovulations take place not during each cycle –
and this is quite normal. As a result, free hormones, affecting ovulation,
accumulate and release during the following cycle, stimulating coming out
of several ovules at once.
- Inheritance History.
If some of your or your husband’s relatives has twins, then your probability
of giving birth to several babies at once is extremely high (especially, if
you inherited this trait from your mother). And, regardless of common opinion,
this doesn’t necessarily take place in one generation – you can
inherit a gene, which is responsible for formation of several ovules, suitable
for insemination, in your organism.
- Genesial Technologies.
Often women, who were prescribed hormonal medicines during sterility treatment
or while preparation to artificial extracorporal fertilization, get plural
pregnancy. Hormonal medicines stimulate ovulation in the midst of a cycle
and, if a woman receives overdose of a medicine, then several ovules come
out of ovary follicle at once, not just one. As a rule, doctors “remove”
excess ovules. Burt sometimes women refuse from it, due to religious or other
motives. In USA and Israel there were cases, when women gave birth to 6 or
7 babies at once.
Sings of Plural Pregnancy
It's not so hard to determine a quantity of babies you are going to give birth
to, it can be knwon with the help of echography on 5th until 6th week of pregnancy,
but there are such situations, when you cann't pass through echography. So,
it will be good to learn the signs of pregnancy with twins. Also, doctors unfortunately
not always can give the exact answer about your pregnancy during the first 10
or 12 days.
Psychological factor. Do not ignore your intuition. Many women
can be sure for the fact that they are pregnant with twins since the moment
of conception already happen. Often mothers with twins admit that they already
knew about their forth coming birth at the earliest terms of pregnancy. If you
feel that you are expecting twins, do not forget to tell the doctor about it
for make it sure.
High biochemical indexes. Women pregnant with twins have increased
indexes of some biochemical tests. For example, content of alpha fetoprotein,
it produces a growing fetus and come to mother’s blood. Or a high content
of a hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which supports pregnancy. While
placenta is developing, its presence can be determined in blood or urine even
before delay of menstruation, and lots of pregnancy tests are based on its indexes.
Intensive morning sickness or vomiting. More heightened, in
comparison with usual pregnancy, content of hormone HCG (pregnancy hormone)
can increase morning sickness. Sickness, sometimes accompanied by vomiting,
can already appear a week after conception, i.e. even before your usual menstrual
cycle begins. Sickness appear more often in the morning, but it’s also
possible in any other time of a day.
Intensification of other pregnancy sings. Some women, expecting
twins, suffer from other intensified sings of pregnancy, due to a significant
increase of hormones, in comparison with usual pregnancy. For example, they
feel heightened breast sensibility, more frequent impulses of urination, extreme
tiredness and hunger. For the second term a woman may suffer from strong breathlessness,
hands and legs spasms, sudden increase in weight and belly sizes, and an intensive
stir of fetus. Hemoglobin decrease or anemia, are also usual events for plural
pregnancy. And in general, this is not surprising, as during such pregnancy
a load on a future mother’s organism increases in several times, depending
on the quantity of babies she’s bearing. Unfortunately, this means that
complications are much more often met during such pregnancy.
Quick weight increase since the first days of pregnancy. By
the way, this is one of the first signs of twin babies’ presence at a
woman’s uterus. This is absolutely normal because double nutrition plays
an important role during the first term of pregnancy. So a quick weight increase
is necessary.
High physiological indexes. During the first medical examination
doctors will be already able to tell you that your uterus size is little bigger
for your assumed term of pregnancy. This tendency will remain for the whole
term of pregnancy. Other physiological indexes will be bigger too: circularity
of belly through navel, height of uterine fundus standing and others.
Heartbeating of two hearts can be heard. When a doctor begins
listening to a baby’s heartbeating, he’ll hear beating of two hearts,
instead of one. Two separate heartbeatings can be heard on the 13th week of
pregnancy already, by the 28th week a doctor will be able to determine 3-4 large
parts of body (head and bum) and many small ones by touch.
