Twin, born in hospital - what does this mean
Twin births occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm cells, resulting in two unique embryos. this can occur naturally or be assisted with fertility treatments. in a hospital setting, the mother is monitored closely throughout the pregnancy to ensure the health of both babies, and the delivery is typically managed by a team of medical professionals.
What happens during the disease - twin, born in hospital
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (ttts) is a rare complication of identical twins sharing a placenta. it occurs when the blood vessels in the placenta connecting the two fetuses become unbalanced, allowing for the unequal transfer of blood between the two. this can lead to one twin receiving too much blood (the recipient twin) and the other receiving too little (the donor twin). this can lead to a variety of complications, such as anemia, hydrops (fluid accumulation) and organ dysfunction in the donor twin, as well as over-circulation and heart failure in the recipient twin. the severity of the condition can vary greatly, and can be managed with intrauterine interventions or even fetal surgery.
