TTTS is potentially lethal to either or both twins, no matter when it is detected. However, when detected past week 25, emergency delivery may be considered to rescue the babies if the TTTS is severe. [citation needed] Other than requiring a monochorionic twin (or higher multiple) pregnancy, the underlying causes of TTTS are not known.
When people learned I was pregnant with twins, they often felt compelled to tell me I looked like I was only carrying one baby. It was less than an hour before my cesarean section, even though my ...
A couple of weeks later, a follow-up ultrasound revealed the addition of twins who were conceived six days after their sister. Another mom, Rebecca Roberts, conceived her twins weeks apart. She ...
In pregnancy, ALT levels would rise during the second trimester. In one of the studies, measured ALT levels in pregnancy-related conditions such as hyperemesis gravidarum was 103.5 IU/L, pre-eclampsia was 115, HELLP syndrome was 149. ALT levels would reduce by greater than 50% in three days after child delivery.
The acardiac twin is a parasitic twin that fails to properly develop a heart, and therefore generally does not develop the upper structures of the body. The parasitic twin, little more than a torso with or without legs, receives its blood supply from the host twin by means of an umbilical cord-like structure (which often only has two blood vessels, instead of three), much like a fetus in fetu ...
Right now, I’m 29 weeks pregnant with my third child. It’s been a seamless pregnancy, and this will probably be my last child. I don’t know the baby’s sex yet, but the boys are excited.
For example, a pregnant female who carried one pregnancy to term with a surviving infant; carried one pregnancy to 35 weeks with surviving twins; carried one pregnancy to 9 weeks as an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy; and has three living children would have a TPAL annotation of T1, P1, A1, L3. This could also be written as 1-1-1-3.
According to ACOG guidelines, the following criteria may reduce the likelihood of VBAC success but should NOT preclude a trial of labour: having two prior caesarean sections, suspected fetal macrosomia at term (fetus greater than 4000-4500 grams in weight), gestation beyond 40 weeks, twin gestation, and previous low vertical or unknown previous ...
