Multifetal Pregnancy

A multifetal pregnancy, also known as a multiple pregnancy, occurs when a woman carries more than one fetus in her uterus simultaneously. This can result in twins, triplets, quadruplets, or higher-order multiples. Multifetal pregnancies come with increased risks for complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal health issues. Prenatal care for multifetal pregnancies typically involves close monitoring to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and each fetus.
