Multiple pregnancy in the third trimester proceeds somewhat differently than a normal pregnancy with one child. This is usually observed starting from the 29th week of pregnancy of twins.
29th week of pregnancy - twins
The following conditions are typical for this period:
- kids are less active moving, since they become less and less in the abdomen (in normal pregnancy, the child may move even more than before);
- my mother is gaining enough weight, sometimes up to 10-12 kg;
- Heartburn, cramps, constipation, sleep disturbance can be even more troubling than before;
- the length of one baby is about 38 cm, and the weight is about 1.3 kg.
Pregnancy 30 weeks - twins
During this period, the twins are already, as a rule, fully formed and in the male fetus the testicles are already lowered into the scrotum. They are moving even less than before, but more tangible.
Mean 30 weeks gestation of twins:
- kids weigh about 1.35-1.45 kg each;
- the height of the children is approximately 40 cm.
At 31 weeks of pregnancy, twins have a significant increase in the size of the mother's tummy. At this time he reaches his "apogee". Babies are already tighter inside, and their movements are already severely limited, although they are seriously felt for my mother. It is very difficult for a woman to lie on her back for five minutes, she is worried about shortness of breath and possible swelling.
The main parameters of a single fetus, characteristic for 31 weeks of pregnancy are twins:
- the weight of one fetus reaches 1.5 kg;
- the length of each baby is about 41 cm.
32 week of pregnancy - twins
Starting from the 32nd week of a pregnant twin, it is likely that you will have to visit the LCD once a week for constant monitoring of pregnancy. During this period, ultrasound is usually diagnosed, which shows that the kids have already taken their basic posture - heads down. So they are preparing for the forthcoming birth. The addition of each fetus in weight at 32 weeks of pregnancy twins
Basic parameters for each child:
- each fruit weighs about 1.6 kg;
- the growth of one fetus is approximately equal to 42 cm.
It is important to note that at the time of 32 weeks during pregnancy, twins must necessarily be prepared with all the necessary things and documents from what needs to be taken to the hospital . To avoid possible panic and emergency charges, it is better to think it through and collect it in advance by putting a bag with things in a prominent place. With such preparations, neither you nor your family will forget anything at the last moment.
