With multiple births becoming more common these days, you can just keep counting your blessings. It is advisable for the would-be mother to start planning for the little wonders about to arrive in this world.
The reason why multiple births have become quite common today is mainly due to fertility treatments that encourage more than one sperm to inseminate an egg. Usually, this forms only one zygote that becomes a fetus, and eventually a baby, but sometimes this method results in the formation of several zygotes. As soon as these zygotes develop into fetuses, doctors get to know that the pregnancy will be abnormal.
At times mothers carrying the multiples face very difficult situations of having to take a decision of aborting one or more zygotes in order to ensure the survival of the others. It happens in very rare cases that the multiples are carried to term, with the chances decreasing with a higher number of babies. In such cases the mother is often asked to abort a specific number of zygotes to make sure that the rest of the babies are healthy. Though the decision of abortion is a difficult one, it should be looked in the perspective that it is meant for the best interest of the children.
When faced with this decision, speak with a number of doctors, as well as clergy and other individuals that have experienced your situation. Once you have made a decision, stand behind it fully and either opt to have the procedure or to take the risk. The choice is yours and your alone to make. You should not feel guilty or compelled to have or not to have the procedure by your doctor.
If you are carrying multiples, you will be advised to go on bed rest at some time during the pregnancy. Generally, multiples are not carried to term, and doctors try to stop labor as long as possible. It's best to take care of any necessary business before your doctor restricts your activity level and confines you to bed.
There are certain things that should be taken care of in advance like having a nursery. Apart from doing some shopping yourself, you can also ask any of your friends or family members for any pieces of furniture.
After the babies arrive, you may wish to have help from friends or family members. Recovery from pregnancy and birth often takes a great deal out of a mother, who is often unable to handle running a household and caring for all the children by herself. In possible, allow both parents to take time off work for a while in order to begin caring for the children. At some point, one or both parents will have to go back to work, so arrangements should be made for the proper child care.
Having more than one baby is a great blessing, but also a great deal of work. Ensuring a good bit of planning is done before the babies arrive will lessen the shock of these new individuals into your home. As they grow, you are certain to find special delight in each and every one of your children.
