Week 19: Twins - Prenatal Tests
Week 19: Twins - Prenatal Tests You'll need more tests than a woman carrying one baby. True That's right! You'll have the same number of screening tests as women who are expecting one baby, but because you're carrying twins, you'll get non-stress tests and more ultrasound exams.

Week 42: Overdue With Twins
Week 42: Overdue Which is NOT a reason why your babies are overdue? I was born late You missed this one. Doctors aren't sure why some babies hang around in the womb longer than others, but nothing you did or didn't do during pregnancy caused your babies to be overdue. It is unlikely with twins that this will happen because it is recommended that twins be delivered early. If you are getting close to your due date, ask your doctor about whether it’s time to induce your labor. These are my first babies. You missed this one. Doctors aren't sure why

Week 9: Nail Polish

There's no need to have drab nails during pregnancy. Even though nail polish contains

Week 19: Twins - Gestational Diabetes
Week 19: Twins - Gestational Diabetes Twins increase your risk of gestational diabetes. True That's right! A recent study found that women who were expecting twins had about 2 times the risk of gestational diabetes as women expecting one baby. The good news is that gestational diabetes is treatable, and you can still have healthy babies. Once you deliver, the diabetes will most likely go away, though you will need to keep an eye on your blood sugar. False You didn't get it right. A recent study found that women who were expecting twins had about 2 times the risk of
