Therefore, pregnant with twins pregnant women should pay special attention to the following matters.
      To early detection of twin pregnancies. Pregnancy, we should always pay attention to the size of the uterus, the uterus is found too large, especially in the 20 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus base height above the normal range, to consider the possibility of twin pregnancy, it is timely to the hospital. If clear is the twin pregnancy to 28 weeks of gestation onwards, been systematically followed up, to take all aspects of health interventions.
Prevention of unexpected twins.
      1. Twins should strengthen the nutrition of pregnant women to avoid anemia. Through better nutrition, adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and add clothing iron, folic acid, in order to ensure maternal and child health.
      2. Twins pregnant women in late pregnancy tends to acute polyhydramnios, premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery, such as too small, the mortality rate is higher. In this regard, under the guidance of a doctor should be precautionary.
      3. Twin pregnancy complicated with hypertension is easy, Yang-bit lying hypotension and intrauterine growth retardation, etc., should always check a doctor.
      4. Due to uterine over-extended, the placenta is too large, sometimes easy to form the placenta or low pre-set, the occurrence of antepartum hemorrhage, can also be caused due to poor post-natal uterine contraction postpartum hemorrhage, with special attention.
      5. If the first baby is breech, the second baby is head position, amniotic broken, the delivery of fetal head when the two interlocking can occur, resulting in dystocia.
      6. Prevention of premature birth. Since both the growth of the fetus in the womb at the same time, often leads to excessive expansion of the uterus, if the concurrent polyhydramnios, uterine muscle tension is even greater, it is often difficult to maintain and advance to the full-term delivery. 28 to 37 weeks of pregnancy, especially after 34 weeks, the best position to take the left lying in bed, should not take seats, half sitting and supine position. If there is signs of threatened abortion, should be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

      2. Pregnant women should pay full attention to rest.
      3. The doctor can be artificial rupture of membranes, in order to lay a good foundation to launch contractions. Artificial rupture of membranes on maternal done, the doctor can give birth process in the appropriate low concentrations of intravenous oxytocin to mediate productive forces, to prevent uterine rupture, umbilical cord prolapse and placental abruption.
      4. Deliveries later, the appropriate application of a reasonable number of uterotonic and antibiotics will help prevent postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal infection.
