Multiple Pregnancy Clinic
A multiple pregnancy occurs when you are expecting two or more babies, such as twins or triplets. Multiple pregnancies require careful and regular monitoring because the babies may have different growth patterns and can have pregnancy-related risks that require specialized assessment. Our multiple pregnancy clinic provides comprehensive ultrasound evaluation and monitoring to support the health and well-being of both mother and babies throughout pregnancy.

When Is It Recommended?
Multiple pregnancy care begins as soon as a twin or multiple pregnancy is identified and continues with monitoring according to the type of pregnancy and individual clinical needs.
- It is recommended for pregnancies involving twins, triplets or higher-order multiples.
- Early ultrasound helps determine the number of babies and the type of placental and amniotic arrangement.
- Regular scans may be advised to monitor the individual growth of each baby.
- Additional ultrasound and Doppler examinations may be recommended when clinically indicated.
- The frequency of follow-up depends on factors such as chorionicity, amnionicity, fetal growth and other pregnancy findings.
- Your doctor or fetal medicine specialist will create an appropriate monitoring plan for your pregnancy.
Important Information
Multiple pregnancies require closer monitoring because the risks and recommended follow-up can vary depending on whether the babies share a placenta or an amniotic sac.
- Twin and multiple pregnancies do not all require the same monitoring schedule.
- Babies sharing a placenta may require more frequent ultrasound surveillance.
- Differences in fetal growth may require additional assessment and follow-up.
- Doppler studies may be recommended when there are concerns regarding fetal growth or placental circulation.
- A normal ultrasound does not guarantee that every pregnancy or fetal complication is absent.
- Some complications may develop later in pregnancy and require ongoing monitoring.
- Your doctor or fetal medicine specialist will explain the findings and recommend appropriate follow-up and care.
