A twin pregnancy carries specific risks and complications for both the baby and mother. High-risk pregnancy or maternal-fetal medicine specialists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) provide specialized care for mothers carrying twins.

Maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Carolina Bibbo discusses types of twin pregnancies, complications and when to consult a high-risk pregnancy specialist. This video includes helpful illustrations that show the different types of twins.

Every family looks forward to a healthy pregnancy, and for the vast majority of women, pregnancy follows a fairly routine course. For some women, however, a high-risk pregnancy may present unexpected difficulties and challenges along the way. Having a high-risk pregnancy means that a woman has a greater chance of complications because of conditions that arise in her pregnancy, her preexisting medical status or lifestyle, or external factors.
