Pregnancy is welcome and enjoyablean event for parents. However, in some cases, it prepares a surprise. When a woman first visits a doctor, she may find out that she will have two instead of one baby. The most frightening and little-known issue is the birth of twins, about which there are many diverse stories.
Experienced moms can at the earliest datesto determine the number of developing babies, but there are few such babies. Therefore it is not bad to know certain signs that indicate the multiple pregnancy:
All these signs indicate early termspregnancy, but do not forget about the individual characteristics of the body, because of which it is possible to misinterpret the first signs of a two-fetal pregnancy.
In addition to physiological changes in the body, you can notice strong psychological changes:
At this time, a woman must be suresupport and reassure that she was confident in her abilities and in the presence of help and support. A woman is not only physically, but also psychologically difficult to transfer the birth of twins. Photos of happy mothers, of course, inspire optimism, but in the presence of even minor complications, the woman begins to suffer greatly.
During pregnancy, the body of a womanis subjected to a strong hormonal surge, in addition, the general load on the locomotor apparatus, cardiovascular and other systems is also increasing. When pregnancy twins, this load increases several times, because the mother's body must ensure sufficient nutrition and excretion of metabolic products not only of one's body, but also of two growing babies.
In the course of multiple pregnancy there isa lot of difficulties that need to be anticipated in advance to preserve it. Because of the high pressure on the cervix during pregnancy, premature birth of twins, the outflow of amniotic fluid, the development of gestosis, severe toxicosis and other complications are often observed.
In the last 3-4 weeks, a woman is inhospital, which allows doctors to regularly monitor her condition and development of babies, monitor the course of pregnancy and in time to carry out the necessary measures to preserve the fruit or unintentional delivery.
As the birth of twins are taking place, many women are concerned,faced with multiple pregnancies. Since it is impossible to foresee how your organism and your children will behave, I would like to at least get acquainted with possible variants of development of childbirth, complications and subsequent care for newborns.
Pregnancy often ends with exerciseplanned caesarean section. If there are indications, it may be necessary to sew the cervix. This will prolong the pregnancy for several weeks, to take the kids to the required time and prevent premature opening of the cervix.
Cesarean section ensures the birth of healthybabies without birth injuries, which can occur with natural childbirth. A future mother needs to seriously consider the issue of childbirth and consult a doctor who can suggest the best option.
Independent twin births are possible only inthe case of normal pregnancy, the absence of any pathologies and infections in the body, as well as the availability of qualified doctors. The most important factor in choosing natural births or caesarean section is the position of the fruit, since after the birth of the first child the second often incorrectly unfolds and sticks in the birth canal.
In some cases, on natural deliverythere is a need to conduct an unscheduled caesarean section. The pregnant woman should be warned about the possibility of such a development of events in advance. The doctor should tell why this can happen, and reassure the woman, since the operation is carried out in order to minimize possible risks and complications for both the kids and the mother.
Term of gestation with two fruitsis reduced from forty weeks to 35-37 weeks. This period is the most favorable for the course of labor. In the event that the birth begins before the 35th week, they are considered premature.
The genus of twins can naturally haveunpredictable consequences, therefore, it is necessary to approach this issue very responsibly. Possible loss of parts of the bodies of fruits, or hinges of the umbilical cord. Babies can get confused in the umbilical cord or mate with each other. Also, even with the correct position in labor, the fruits can dramatically change their position, thereby increasing complexity.
Duration of labor can greatly increase, fromthat both mother and children will suffer. In especially severe cases, it is possible to get stuck in the birth canal, then there is a great danger to their life.
Because of the big weight of kids can not onlyThere is a hyperextension of the uterus, but also an umbilical hernia is formed. This stretches the muscle ring, which can only be removed surgically.
In the absence of pain, doctors often leave a herniaand watch her. But mothers, who are constantly without help and often carry children in their arms, need to take care of their health, as in the future, complications and pinching of the muscles are possible.
Also with umbilical hernia is not recommendedexercise, so as not to strain the already damaged muscles. It is important to remember that the twin genera and consequences after them largely depend on the genetics and individual characteristics of the organism, therefore it is better if the doctor in a particular case determines the mother's capabilities and appoints appropriate treatment if necessary.
The frequent problem after birth is the emergencestretch marks and flabbiness of the abdomen. Changing the figure often adversely affects the psychological state of a woman who is very tired when caring for children. About the birth of twins reviews on the Internet can be found different. This is due to the individuality of the female body and the characteristics of genetics.
Lack of free time and opportunitiesto be engaged in the health can considerably worsen a picture and lead to development of diseases. Return to the form with this mode is quite difficult, and even if the extra pounds with time go away from fatigue and an active lifestyle, then coping with skin changes is much more difficult. Often, only plastic can correct the situation, which is not always possible.
Diastasis is a discrepancyvertical abdominal muscles. To correct this problem without surgical intervention is impossible, since the muscles need to be stitched. You can determine the presence of diastase yourself. It looks like a fovea over the navel, it is possible to feel this fossa in the prone position.
With diastase, you need to see a doctor,because it is impossible to solve the problem with the help of exercises. This can lead to the development of complications. The natural birth of twins, like the cesarean section, does not affect the appearance of diastasis. It is the result of a strong stretching of the muscles and occurs even in singleton pregnancy.
