Twins and multiple pregnancy

A multiple pregnancy usually needs an individualized scan, monitoring and birth plan based partly on how the babies and placenta are arranged.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Ask who leads care, how often monitoring is planned, which symptoms need earlier contact and how birth timing and location will be discussed.

What changes the answer

  • Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
  • Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
  • Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
