Home | Home & Family | Babies The reason why multiple births have become quite common today is mainly due to fertility treatments that encourage more than one sperm to inseminate an egg. Usually, this forms only one zygote that becomes a fetus, and eventually a baby, but sometimes this method results in the formation of several zygotes. As soon as these zygotes develop into fetuses, doctors get to know that the pregnancy will be abnormal. At times mothers carrying the multiples face very difficult situations of having to take a decision of aborting one or more zygotes in order to ensure the survival of the others. It happens in very rare cases that the multiples are carried to term, with the chances decreasing with a higher number of babies. In such cases the mother is often asked to abort a specific number of zygotes to make sure that the rest of the babies are healthy. Though the decision of abortion is a difficult one, it should be looked in the perspective that it is meant for the best interest of the children. If you are faced with a situation in which you have to make such a decision, it is advisable to take an opinion from members of the clergy, doctors and people who have been through a similar situation in their lives. But once the die has been cast and the decision has been made, stick by it, whether you decide to go ahead with the risk or going through the procedure. The ball is in your court as it is your life. Thus do not feel any compulsion for either of the choices of either going or not going through the procedure. Once the babies are developing, the mother will usually have to go on bed rest at some time during the pregnancy. Again, multiples are rarely carried to term, so doctors attempt to stop labor as long as possible. You may need to take care of any necessary business before you doctor limits your activity level and confines you to bed. There are certain things that should be taken care of in advance like having a nursery. Apart from doing some shopping yourself, you can also ask any of your friends or family members for any pieces of furniture. As a lot of energy of the mothers is expended at the time of the birth of the children, having the support of either friends or family members is a great idea. Running a household as well as taking care of the children all by herself can be quite a task for the mother. Thus having someone alongside proves to be of a great aid. Since it takes time for the things to settle, in case it is possible for the husband, he should take an off. Once everything has been settled and both the parents can resume working then arrangements should be made for proper childcare. More babies translate not only into additional joy but it also means a greater task to handle. Therefore, it is better to do some careful planning in advance before your bundle of joy comes into the world. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
