Multiple Pregnancy

Carrying more than one baby is known as a multiple pregnancy. Twins are the most common type of multiple pregnancy. Triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets or more, are less common. If you have a multiple pregnancy, you may be at risk for:

• Preeclampsia
• Anemia
• Gestational diabetes
• Hyperemesis gravidarum
• Placenta previa
• Premature rupture of the membranes and preterm labor
• Fetal growth abnormalities
• Fetal anomalies

Our maternal fetal medicine specialists offer consultation and evaluation of multiples throughout the pregnancy.
