365 Days of Twinipedia - Day 32


Day Thirty-two of Twinipedia: 
















Fact #32 - 
Moms pregnant with twins have a lot of the same, typical pregnancy side effects as moms pregnant with singletons. Doctors find though (WebMD.com) that moms pregnant with multiples tend to complain of more back pain, sleeping difficulties, and heartburn than moms who are carrying one child. 


Moms pregnant with twins also have a higher rate of maternal anemia and a higher rate of postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding) after delivery.



So if you are pregnant with multiples, be prepared for some aches and pains and make sure to talk to your ObGyn/midwife about troublesome side effects.
