Question 1

what are my chances of multiple birth if i am twin & my husband has a twin sister?

Accepted Answer

About 1%: Fraternal twins are from ovulation of two eggs, and identical twins less commonly from an embryo split.  There is a gene for multiple ovulation, so twins can run in families, but this does not often happen.  There is little familial component to identical twins.  Your husband's history won't play a role.  It's likely that your risk of twins will be similar to all other women, that is about 1%.

Question 2

12 wks preg with my first. and they're twins. i'm only 125 pds. prepeg 115 pds, 5'5. what are the chances of underweight births? so sick cant eat much

Accepted Answer

Twins are smallerBUT: Usually twins are smaller in weight to single pregnancy. But it is hard to predict what size your twin babies will be at birth. About 50percent of twins weigh about 5and1/2 lbs.But some are more up to 7 lbs and less .Eat properly and  Prenatal care

Question 3

what are.the chances of concieving  twins after stopping birth control?

Accepted Answer

Around 3%: The rate of giving birth to twins is about 30 per 1,000 live births in the US. However, this number may be higher than the chances for you to have natural twins. This is because the 3% number includes women who use assisted reproductive technology like IVF (they have higher rates of twins). The fact that you recently stopped birth control does not change your chance of having twins.

Question 4

clomid (clomiphene) and multiple births? what are the chances of twins with clomid (clomiphene)? i'm starting clomid (clomiphene) and i'm not sure i want multiple births.

Accepted Answer

Risk: Mulitples are a risk of clomiphene, but it's relatively small--especially if you're using it how your doctor tells you.

Question 5

so i've had a low grade pap smear result and have recently had twins so i've would know if i had hpv what's the chances i have cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Pap Smear: It is very low.  You have "low grade' that means stage one out of five. Five is cancer.  Your physician will next do a colposcopy and work to remove or limit any risk for further progression.

Question 6

i dont have current symptoms of bv but do have a history of it. im 15+2 with twins. what are the chances that asymptotic bv can cause me to miscarry? is this a common cause of second trimester miscarriage? and should i be worried? cervix is closed?

Accepted Answer

BV in pregnancy: It was once believed BV could increase the risk of premature labor, but no suggestion that it causes miscarrige. The main problem of BV in pregnancy is risk of uterine infection after delivery (post-partum endometritis). Although asymptomatic BV is possible, it's unlikely you have it if you don't have abnormal vaginal odor or discharge. Your Ob will be on top of all this:  discuss w/ her.

Question 7

how serious is placenta covering cervix @ 17 weeks. 3 early mcs, 2 d&cs, no birth. no bleeding. what are the chances of placenta not moving up ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A marginal placenta previa has a good possibility of moving up.  A complete placenta previa will probably remain so.

Question 8

i had a preterm loss at 19.3w. preg again. had cervical length check at 19.5w and it was 3.84 cm/no infection. what is chance of preterm birth again?

Accepted Answer

Elevated: Having a preterm birth in one pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth in future pregnancies. It is also important to determine if the cause preterm labor, preterm rupture of membranes or an incompetent cervix. Ask if you are a candidate for a cerclage or for 17 Hydroxy Progesterone injections.

Question 9

help. 27 weeks pregnant, positive ffn test, dilated 1 centimeter, 6 mm cervical length. what are the chances of preterm birth, and will it be soon?

Accepted Answer

Significant: The +ffn indicates a possible risk of preterm labor. Cervical dilatation at 27wks in the first pregnancy plus significant cervical shortening on sono further raises the odds of a preterm labor. You should speak to you OB doc regarding possible preventative strategies.
