Why is a twin pregnancy a risk?
Receiving twins may seem like a real stroke of luck for a couple who has waited a long time to have children. After having pondered the idea in more detail, the couple may realize that they would rather increase the number of members in their family one child at a time. Pregnancies with multiple fetuses can be a health risk, but also a risk financially. For instance, the risk of giving birth prematurely or giving birth to a baby whose weight is excessively low is much greater compared to pregnancies with one fetus. Moreover, complications during pregnancy and miscarriages during later stages of the pregnancy are also greater. For this reason, we here at the AVA Clinic have decided to transfer two embryos at the most into the uterus. We strongly recommend that our clients have just one embryo transferred, especially if you are having your first treatments and the embryos are of good quality.
