Fetus and newborn affected by multiple pregnancy - what does this mean
Multiple pregnancy occurs when more than one fetus is present in the uterus. it is caused by the release of multiple eggs during ovulation, which are then fertilized by multiple sperm. the resulting fetuses can be identical or fraternal, depending on whether they come from the same egg or different eggs. the risks associated with multiple pregnancy can include preterm labor, low birth weight, and increased risk of complications for both mother and fetus.
What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by multiple pregnancy
The pathogenesis of multiple pregnancy in the fetus and newborn is multifactorial. it is caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, hormonal and environmental factors. it is thought that an increase in the production of certain hormones, such as lh and fsh, can lead to the release of multiple eggs at ovulation, resulting in multiple fertilization. additionally, an increase in the number of embryos in the uterus can cause the uterus to become overcrowded, leading to an increased risk of preterm labor and birth. furthermore, the increased number of fetuses can lead to a higher risk of intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity, and low birth weight.
