Even without the added risk of a multiple birth and premature
labor, pregnancy and childbirth are still inherently risky, and healthy women who reach their due date can still experience

Note that multiple pregnancies will yield risk of
complications like preterm
labor.
Be sure to jot down important information,
like insurance details, baby's birth weight, height, or any important conditions or
complications experienced during
labor and delivery.
