I love a good string of lessons learned. Given the popularity of my post detailing the 9 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Sooner on Instagram, I thought I'd expand upon a few of them (and add one more!). It's been a wild and wonderful 19+ years in this space, and while I wouldn't change a thing, knowing some of this earlier on would certainly have saved me some late-night anxiety runs to the ice cream section of the grocery store! While I'll always support late-night ice cream runs, my hope is that this list will help you make them from a calm, happy space!MENTIONED RESOURCESCreating Captivating Audiobooks workshop with Drew LinsalataCarly Watters' Instagram post about author visibility challengesThe Book Writers Collective (monthly membership)Holy Sh*t…I'm Having Twins!

If you're expecting more than one baby or think you might end up with multiples due to beginning fertility medication or treatment, you'll want to listen in.Jade Elliott is joined by Dr. Helen Feltovich, a maternal fetal medicine physician with Intermountain Healthcare who specializes in high-risk pregnancies to answer common questions about expecting multiples.Is the Number of Twins and Multiples Increasing?Actually, the number of multiples being born has decreased slightly in recent years, probably due to responsible assisted reproductive technologies.What Increases Your Chances of Having Twins or Multiples?While fertility medication or in vitro fertilization may increase your chance for carrying multiples, there are other factors, like genetics or demographics that can come into play.Family history of twins or multiplesOver age 35Previous pregnancyTaller than averageObesity – Body mass index of 30 or higherAfrican American women are slightly more likely to have twinsIf you have multiple factors, your odds of having multiples, multiplies!Types of TwinsIdentical twins is the common name for “monochorionic” twins, which means one placenta. These twins result from the fertilization of a single egg that splits in two. Identical twins share all of their genes and are of the same sex.Fraternal twins is the common name for “dichorionic” twins, which means two placentas. These twins result from the fertilization of two separate eggs during the same pregnancy. They share genes just like any other siblings. Fraternal twins can be of the same or different sexes.The only way to really know if your twins are identical is through genetic testing. In some very rare cases, there can be identical twins that are different in some important ways, like sex.With Good Prenatal Care, Most Twin Pregnancies Result in Healthy BabiesMost twins are delivered past 36 weeks. The estimated due date is at 40 weeks of pregnancy, and 37 weeks is considered term. Half of twins are delivered after 36 weeks, and half before then, either because of spontaneous labor or because of a maternal or fetal problem that requires delivery. Multiples higher than twins often arrive earlier.Risks of Carrying MultiplesPreterm laborPre-eclampsia (high blood pressure)Gestational diabetesMiscarriagePlacenta complicationsFetal growth concerns, especially for monochorionic (identical) twinsIncreased risk for postpartum depression or anxiety due to complicationsPrenatal Visits Are Even More Important If You're Expecting MultiplesWhen you're expecting twins or multiples, your doctor will likely want you to have more prenatal visits than for a singleton pregnancy due to a higher chance for complications. You'll also likely need additional ultrasounds and fetal monitoring during pregnancy to check for any complications. That's why it's important to not skip prenatal appointments.When to See a Maternal Fetal Medicine SpecialistIf your doctor is not comfortable with managing or delivering twins, or if you have additional complications, you'll probably be invited to see a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialist. This is especially true if your babies are monochorionic (identical). MFM specialists are trained in obstetrics and gynecology like general obstetricians, but then they do an additional three years of training specific to high risk pregnancies and deliveries. If you're expecting three or more babies, it's highly recommended you see an MFM specialist.If there is not an MFM specialist in your area, ask your doctor about consulting with one through telehealth. We try to keep patients close to their home.Things to Do at Home If You're Expecting MultiplesTake prenatal vitamins as you would for a single pregnancy.Drink plenty of water to stay hydratedEat well. Don't focus on the number of pounds to gain. Your provider will watch the weight of your babies with growth ultrasounds.Get enough exerciseBed rest is not recommended just because you're expecting multiples.Be Aware of the Signs of Preterm LaborIf you feel more pressure or have cramping, bleeding, or are leaking fluid, or have decreased fetal movement, call your doctor.Prepare for the Postpartum PeriodSet up social support for after the babies arrive. Your chances of having premature babies or a Caesarean delivery are higher when you are carrying multiples. If your babies are born prematurely, one or more of your babies may need to stay in a neonatal intensive care unit. You may want to think about how close you live to a hospital with a NICU or ask your provider if they have access to telehealth consultations for your baby.You may be at higher risk for postpartum depression or anxiety due to increased stress or complications.BreastfeedingBreastfeeding is best for babies, especially premature babies. It is possible to nurse multiples successfully. If breastfeeding is not working, there's no shame in needing to supplement with formula.For more information, here are some helpful links:https://intermountainhealthcare.org/https://intermountainhealthcare.org/services/womens-health/intermountain-moms/https://intermountainhealthcare.org/locations/intermountain-medical-center/medical-services/women-and-newborn-care/women-and-newborn-services/high-risk-pregnancy/https://intermountainhealthcare.org/primary-childrens/programs-specialties/fetal-programThe Baby Your Baby program provides many resources for all pregnant women and new moms in Utah.
