Pass The Smelling Salts!
The possibility of more than one baby lurks somewhere in the dark recesses of every pregnant woman’s mind. Twins occur once in every 100 pregnancies. The thought may delight some and provoke horror in others.
Head Start
Before ultrasound, as many as 30 percent of twin pregnancies were surprises. The smelling salts weren’t needed until delivery. Early diagnosis of the twin pregnancy is critically important; plans must be made. In the first or early second trimester, an ultrasound exam can eliminate surprises. You can see two babies in there-no guessing. For the duration of your pregnancy and definitely after, you’ll need to make adjustments in your life-style.
