my daughter lost her mucas plug yesterday. Today at Dr.s and her blood pressure is so high they have her in a holding room. she is 35 weeks pregnant with identical twin girls. Her blood pressure has been perfect through the whole pregnancy . What could be the problem
Hi there,Twin pregnancies are known to be more high risk for the mother. More so if she is having identical twin pregnancy. Do the girls share they same amniotic sac ? Monozygotic (same Sac) twins have a higher rate of complications and if her blood pressure is not being controlled, her Obstetrician should plan for an early delivery. Twins mature faster than singleton pregnancy and if the maternal condition is getting unstable it is best to consider delivery. The loss of mucus plug also indicates that she is likely to get into labor soon. Twins may require monitoring post delivery and the pediatrician should be informed, and two pediatricians should be available at the time of delivery. Hope this helps. Regards.
