Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical answers directly from our specialists to help prepare you for your appointment.

Chorionicity refers to whether the twins share a placenta (monochorionic) or have separate placentas (dichorionic). It determines the level of monitoring required.

Monochorionic (identical) twins are scanned every 2 weeks starting from 16 weeks to check for TTTS, while dichorionic twins are monitored every 4 weeks.

TTTS is a serious condition in monochorionic twins where blood flows unequally between the babies through shared placental blood vessels.

قد تكون الولادة المهبلية مناسبة في حالات مختارة، ولا سيما عندما يكون التوأم الأول بوضعية الرأس ولا توجد موانع توليدية أخرى. يحدد الفريق الخطة وفق نوع المشيمة ووضعية الجنينين وعمر الحمل والسياق السريري.

Uncomplicated fraternal (dCDA) twins are usually delivered at 37–38 weeks, while identical (mCDA) twins are delivered at 36–37 weeks.

We manage and treat complications locally; for complex fetal surgeries, patients in Al Ain are referred directly to our Abu Dhabi hub with care coordinated smoothly.
