Maternal health experts have urged women pregnant with twins or more babies to ensure they seek special care from maternal health specialists to reduce the complications associated with multiple pregnancies.
“Beginning from 28 to 32 weeks, there could be a delivery, and between 34 and 36 weeks, there could be a delivery. Also, between 35 and 36 weeks, there could be delivery and 36 weeks and above. So, the closer the babies are to term, the higher their chance of survival.
“Their body system is not old enough to cope with the outside world. So, that is the main cause why premature babies die. Babies delivered before 37 weeks, their chance of survival is slim and one out of three of them will die.” “The stress that the woman will be going through will be doubled, vomiting and dizziness will be doubled, even the risk of high blood pressure is higher in people who are carrying twins than those carrying one baby.
