Twin gestation

Twin gestation refers to the simultaneous development of two fetuses within the uterus, a significant area of focus in OBGYN. This multifetal pregnancy presents unique challenges and considerations for both maternal and fetal health, requiring specialized monitoring and management throughout the pregnancy. Ultrasound plays a pivotal role in early diagnosis, determining chorionicity and amnionicity, and monitoring growth and potential complications.

Medical and ultrasound surveillance is critical for twin gestations, aiming to identify and manage common risks such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and fetal growth discordance. Advanced ultrasound techniques allow for detailed assessment of fetal development, placental health, and the detection of twin-specific complications, ensuring optimized outcomes for both mother and babies.
