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
Our two hubs cover the country: Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital in Abu Dhabi and Mediclinic Al Jowhara Hospital in Al Ain. Patients from Dubai (about 60–75 minutes on the E11), Sharjah, Ajman and the Northern Emirates typically attend the Abu Dhabi hub, while Al Ain and Eastern Region families are seen locally. Referrals are coordinated so travel is minimised and, wherever possible, imaging, counselling and any procedure are grouped into as few visits as possible.
Insurance & Coverage
Across both hubs we work with major UAE insurers including Daman (Thiqa and Enhanced), ADNIC, Nextcare, NAS and other networks. Coverage and pre-authorisation vary by plan and emirate, so our team confirms eligibility and arranges approvals before you travel. Self-pay packages are available nationwide.
