Twins have a greater chance of being born prematurely, probably around 50%.
Preterm labor is generally defined as an untimely delivery at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy at 28 weeks. If you are pregnant with twins and have two babies at a time, the chance of preterm labor is about 50%, which is two to three times higher than that of a single baby. Moreover, preterm babies have poor health, low immunity and poor cardiorespiratory function, and need to be put into the intensive care unit for observation after birth, and their survival rate is lower than that of newborns born at full term.
If you find out that you are pregnant with twins during your labor and delivery test, it is recommended that you have regular labor and delivery tests to keep an eye on the development of the fetuses. Once the obstetrics and gynecology examination found abnormalities, should go to the hospital obstetrics and gynecology review as soon as possible, timely detection of problems, with the doctor for treatment.
Pregnant with twins should pay attention to rest, reasonable diet, appropriate to do some aerobic exercise, such as walking, climbing stairs, etc., to enhance physical fitness, for smooth delivery to be fully prepared, to avoid preterm labor.
