Twins or Triplets Pregnancy Care at Radha Hospital & Fertility
Carrying twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples is a unique and special journey. While it brings extra joy and excitement, it also requires specialized care and closer monitoring to ensure the safety and health of both the mother and the babies. At Radha Hospital & Fertility, under the expert care of Dr. Aishwarya Yerram, we provide advanced and compassionate care for mothers experiencing a multiple pregnancy.
What is a Multiple Pregnancy?
A multiple pregnancy occurs when a woman carries more than one baby at the same time. The most common types are:
Twins – Two babies (either identical or fraternal)
Triplets – Three babies
Higher-order multiples – Four or more babies, which are rare
This type of pregnancy can occur naturally or with the help of fertility treatments like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).
Why Multiple Pregnancy Needs Special Care
Multiple pregnancies are often considered high-risk pregnancies because they carry a higher chance of complications for both mother and babies. However, with proper monitoring and advanced medical support, most women deliver healthy babies.
Some common challenges include:
Increased risk of preterm labor and delivery
Babies may have low birth weight
Higher chances of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia
Greater strain on the mother’s body leading to fatigue, back pain, or anemia
Increased chances of C-section delivery
Signs & Symptoms of Twins or Triplets Pregnancy
Mothers carrying more than one baby may notice:
Faster weight gain than single pregnancies
Severe morning sickness or nausea
Increased appetite and fatigue
Stronger or earlier fetal movements
Larger than expected belly size for gestational age
How Radha Hospital & Fertility Cares for Multiple Pregnancies
At Radha Hospital, we follow a specialized care plan for mothers expecting twins or triplets:
Early Diagnosis – Through ultrasound scans, we confirm multiple pregnancies early.
Frequent Checkups – More regular antenatal visits to closely track the mother’s health and babies’ growth.
Advanced Monitoring – Doppler scans, growth scans, and fetal heart rate monitoring to detect any complications early.
Nutritional Support – Tailored diet plans to ensure the mother receives enough nutrients for multiple babies.
Specialized Delivery Planning – Deciding the safest delivery method (normal or C-section) based on mother and babies’ condition.
NICU Support – In case of premature birth, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) ensures immediate care for the babies.
Tips for Mothers Expecting Twins or Triplets
Eat a balanced and nutrient-rich diet with extra proteins, iron, calcium, and vitamins.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Take prescribed prenatal supplements without skipping.
Avoid overexertion – rest is very important.
Sleep on your side (especially the left side) for better blood circulation.
Stay active with gentle exercises (only as advised by your doctor).
Attend all checkups regularly without fail.
Delivery & Birth of Twins or Triplets
Most twins and triplets are delivered earlier than single pregnancies (around 36–37 weeks for twins, 34–35 weeks for triplets).
C-section deliveries are more common, but some twins can be delivered vaginally depending on their position.
Our team at Radha Hospital ensures that both mother and babies are safe during delivery with round-the-clock emergency support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, they are classified as high-risk, but with advanced care and monitoring at Radha Hospital, the risks can be managed effectively.

Not always. Some twin pregnancies can be delivered vaginally depending on babies’ positions and mother’s health. Triplets are usually delivered by C-section.

Not exactly double, but you need extra calories and nutrients. Dr. Aishwarya Yerram and our nutrition experts guide you with a balanced diet plan.
