About Multiple Gestation

Multiple gestation, commonly referred to as a multiple pregnancy, is a condition where more than one embryo implants and develops in the uterus, most frequently twins or triplets. In the context of IVF and Reproductive Medicine, this is often an outcome of transferring more than one embryo during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. While it fulfills the dream of parenthood for many, it is classified as a high-risk pregnancy requiring specialized care from maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Careful monitoring through advanced ultrasound and other diagnostics is essential to manage risks like preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia, ensuring the best possible health outcomes for both the mother and the babies.
