Health Tip: Carrying Twins?

(HealthDay News) - A woman who is pregnant with more than one baby probably needs even more prenatal care than the average pregnant woman, since her babies are at greater-than-average risk of complications.

Here are possible complications of multiple pregnancies, courtesy of the American Pregnancy Association:

• Going into labor early.

• Preeclampsia.

• Pregnancy-induced hypertension (high blood pressure).

• Gestational diabetes.

• Restricted growth inside the uterus.

• Miscarriage.
