Other multiple gestation - what does this mean

Other multiple gestation is a type of pregnancy where a woman carries more than one fetus at the same time. it occurs when more than one egg is fertilized by sperm and then implants in the uterus, resulting in a multiple pregnancy.

What happens during the disease - other multiple gestation

Other multiple gestation is a condition in which a woman is pregnant with more than one fetus. this can occur due to a variety of factors, including the release of multiple eggs during ovulation, or the fertilization of a single egg that splits into two or more embryos. this condition is more common in women who are undergoing fertility treatments, as these treatments increase the likelihood of multiple eggs being released and fertilized. it is also more common in women who are older, as the ovaries are more likely to release multiple eggs.
