However, this approach has been linked to an increased
risk of multiple pregnancy, so close ultrasound monitoring of ovarian response is always indicated.
Many moms of multiples also report being completely surprised at the
diagnosis of a multiple pregnancy simply because they didn't experience anything out of the ordinary.
This helps us identify the healthiest, most viable embryo to be transferred, which helps increase the success rate and reduce the
incidence of multiple pregnancy.
This means patients and doctors are under less pressure to maximise the immediate chance of pregnancy by transferring more than one embryo, which comes with the
risk of multiple pregnancy.
They reached a peak and started to go down because as fertility treatment technology has advanced, reproductive specialists have found ways to reduce the
number of multiple pregnancies.
Risks
of a multiple pregnancy include premature labor and delivery, maternal hemorrhage, C - section delivery, pregnancy induced high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes.
Topics include healthy lifestyles, physical and emotional
challenges of a multiple pregnancy, signs and stages of labor and birth, relaxation and breathing techniques, medical interventions, and what to expect during your hospital stay.
Do parents not make decisions to abort one baby and keep the other, especially in cases

Be sure to talk with your doctor about some of the more difficult topics like the maternal and fetal risks
of a multiple pregnancy versus a singleton pregnancy.
PFC offers CCS as an option for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), as a treatment for recurrent miscarriage, prevention of aneuploidy in pregnancy, and for women that wish to improve implantation rates, reduce miscarriage rates, and reduce the risk

stage of multiple pregnancies.
A later diagnosis
of multiple pregnancy happens only in two cases: when a women does all tests later, at the 4 - 5th month, either if the first survey was conducted too early and the number of embryos could not be determined properly.
During the presentation, Dr. Schriock gave an update on current Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) technology, focusing on CCS, egg and embryo freezing,
reduction of multiple pregnancy, fertility preservation and using ART for family planning.
Several studies have suggested that obstetric outcomes in pregnancies after ART are worse than those seen after spontaneous conception, a trend usually attributed to the higher
proportion of multiple pregnancies in ART (and as a result prematurity and low birthweight).
In the
event of a multiple pregnancy, the maximum number of weeks of benefits is increased by five weeks, from 18 to 23 (four for the special plan).
PGS reduces the risk
of multiple pregnancies because we can more confidently transfer one healthy embryo and therefore reduce the incidence of twin pregnancies.
This increase in the
number of multiple pregnancies is primarily because about one - third of the women who are having babies are over the age of thirty, and that is the age for women when they are more likely to conceive multiples.
There was another interesting finding of this review: Women who took vitamins before or during their pregnancy had an increased
chance of a multiple pregnancy (such as twins).
Researchers report more cases of vanishing twin syndrome in women older than 30, though that may be due to the fact that older mothers in general have higher
