HcG (HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN) LEVELS TESTHcG is a glycoprotein hormone detectable in pregnant women's blood or urine about 10 days post-conception. It increases at a rapid rate, peaking about 10 weeks into the pregnancy. Twins may produce an elevated level of HcG. However, the standard HcG level for twins also falls within the normal range for singletons.

AFP (ALPHAFETOPROTEIN) SCREENINGAlpha-fetoprotein screening is a blood test that measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein in the mothers' blood during the second trimester. AFP is a protein normally produced by the fetal liver and is present in the fluid surrounding the fetus (amniotic fluid), and crosses the placenta into the mother's blood.Abnormal levels of AFP may indicate twin pregnancy . This is because more than one fetus is making the protein.

If the pregnancy is twin, it have a big difference with carrying for just one baby. The pregnant mother will know whether her pregnancy is twin or not by : Checking their weight. When a woman carries twins, she gains more weight than average and her uterus is also larger than normal for her projected due dates.

2 ) What is the comparison between identical and non-identical twin?

Fraternal (Non-identical) twins are formed when two egg cells are fertilized; each egg by a different sperm so that two embryos are formed. Fraternal twins can be of the same or opposite sex and they don't have to look at all alike.Identical twins are formed when one egg after being fertilized by one sperm, divides into two halves. The two halves are genetically identical. Identical twins are usually of the same sex.Conjoined (Siamese) twins are formed exactly like identical twins, but during the split, the embryo does not separate completely to form two separate babies and the twins develop attached to one another.

4 ) What are the common symptoms of twin pregnancy ?

Weight GainEarly weight gain of up to ten pounds in the first trimester can result due to increased blood volume and uterine size.By the end of the second trimester, most mothers of twins have gained fifteen to twenty-five pounds, whereas singleton pregnancies usually produce gains of ten to twenty pounds.

Measuring large for gestational age Increased uterus size can be a strong indicator of multiple pregnancy.

Severe morning sickness symptoms, including nausea, fatigue and vomiting

5 ) There are 3 different way that identical twins can develop. How it develop?

і) Only one placenta that feeds the babies, but there can be two amniotic sacs. There is 1 placenta and 2 amniotic sacs then the pregnancy is referred to as having a “ mono-chorial ” placenta and is “ bi-amniotic “.

іі) Only one placenta and one amniotic sac The pregnancy is referred to as having a “ mono-chorial” placenta and is “ mono-amniotic”

ііі) Two placentae and each embryo has its own amniotic sac There are two placentas and two amniotic sacs Referred to as having a “bi-chorial” pregnancy and is “ bi-amniotic”.
