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.

Getting Here & Access

In Al Ain, we are based at Mediclinic Al Jowhara Hospital, a short drive from Al Jimi, Al Towiyya, Al Muwaiji, Al Mutaredh, Hili and Al Sarooj, with convenient parking. Al Ain families receive their scans, diagnostics and routine follow-up locally; the small number of highly specialised in-utero procedures are performed at our Abu Dhabi hub (about 90 minutes via the E22/Abu Dhabi–Al Ain Road) with pre-operative and post-operative care kept close to home in Al Ain.

Insurance & Coverage

The Al Ain unit works with major UAE insurers including Daman (Thiqa and Enhanced), ADNIC, Nextcare, NAS and other networks.
