How do twins begin?
There are two kinds of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. In the
case of identical twins, the egg is fertilized and then splits into two
cells. Each cell carries identical DNA and so both children will look
exactly the same with only slight differences such as height or
birthmarks. Fraternal twins are not identical. Instead of having one egg
that splits into two, there are two eggs that are fertilized by two
different sperm at the same time so they could be of two different sexes
with different physical characteristics.
Early signs of twin pregnancy
An early sign of twin pregnancy is excessive morning sickness and extreme
fatigue. Morning sickness is common with all pregnant mothers but those
who are giving birth to multiples tend to experience more morning
sickness than usual. Exhaustion is another early sign of twin pregnancy.
Again, it is not uncommon for pregnant women to be more tired than usual
but those who are having twins tend to undergo enhanced exhaustion. Twins
are hereditary and so if you are feeling excessively tired, are often
nauseous and twins run in your family, you very well could be giving
birth to multiples!
Twin pregnancy facts
With twins, you’ll have to prepare for double the trouble! This means you
will probably be gaining more weight than with a single pregnancy. Due to

2. this extra weight, a pregnancy with twins can often be more uncomfortable
– severe exhaustion, stronger backaches and headaches, etc. So get plenty
of sleep and rest. Try a pregnancy massage, a great stress reliever to
those giving birth to multiples. Also be prepared for a possible c-
section, as with multiples this is the more common way of giving birth.
Because a twin pregnancy is considered a high risk pregnancy, you will
probably need to consult your obstetrician more often than if you were
having a regular pregnancy. Do not be fazed as this is quite common with
twins.
Having a twin pregnancy is most certainly a mixed blessing. Whilst having
two children is an amazing experience, the pregnancy itself can be tough
so make sure to take care of yourself.
