Abstract

When more than one fetus develops in the uterus of a woman, such a pregnancy is called multiple. Physiologically, the uterus of a woman is scheduled to give birth to one fetus at a time, so multiple pregnancies are considered rare. Multiple pregnancies are not so common in the world, but with more frequent fertilization by assisted methods and the treatment of female infertility, there is a greater number of ovulations than once, so multiple pregnancies are possible. However, it should be noted that multiple pregnancies can be associated with a high risk of premature pregnancy, early delivery and miscarriage, and even intrauterine death of one of the fetuses.
