What should people who are pregnant with twins pay attention to? Generally, people who are pregnant with twins or even multiples will have a harder time than those who are pregnant with a single pregnancy. Of course, they are also more likely to have accidents. Therefore, pregnant mothers who are pregnant with twins or even multiples should pay special attention. Things to note are as follows:
1. Diet. People who are pregnant with twins or multiples will definitely need much more nutrients than a single fetus because they are pregnant with two fetuses. In terms of diet, pregnant mothers with twins should promptly supplement a variety of nutrients, including meat, eggs, milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. In addition, they must ensure adequate intake of calcium and iron. Prevent anemia during pregnancy. The incidence of anemia in pregnant women with twins (multiples) is as high as 40% because the development of two or more fetuses requires more red blood cells. At this time, pregnant women should take iron and folic acid supplements in a timely manner.
2. Prenatal check-up. Because having twins or multiples may be more risky than having a singleton, people pregnant with twins will have more frequent prenatal check-ups. When doing three-dimensional or four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, the prenatal check-up time for twin pregnant mothers may be longer, because it will naturally take more time to rule out malformations in both babies. Of course, the doctor will also appropriately increase the number of prenatal checkups based on the condition of the pregnant mother, so as to understand the development of the two fetuses in a timely manner.
3. Other aspects. In addition to the above two points, people pregnant with twins also need to pay attention to: avoid fatigue and rest in bed (especially in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, when pregnant women with twins have enlarged belly and are more likely to fatigue); insist on sleeping on the left side (sleeping on the left side can help Increase intrauterine blood flow and provide more space and oxygen to the fetus); moderate exercise (people pregnant with twins should also exercise moderately, firstly to exercise physical fitness, and secondly to promote intestinal digestion), etc.
In addition, people who are pregnant with twins should also pay attention to preventing more stretch marks that may appear on the enlarged belly; be wary of malnutrition and hypoxia in the fetus; do this after 36 weeks of pregnancy Be prepared to give birth at any time, etc.
