Note that by âlong distance relationships,â I refer to the ones where there is no current possibility or any possibility in the near future that the two people involved will be living in the same area. So, based on my own experience, these are 7 reasons why long distance relationships donât work out:
As mentioned above, there's no guarantee that your twins will arrive early. However, the possibility is higher than with a singleton birth. Some hospitals allow expectant parents to take a tour of the NICU, to get some idea of what may be waiting for them; ask if that's an option.
People typically discover they're having twins during a routine scan, often in the first trimester. Ultrasound is almost foolproof at diagnosing twins, but the greater the number of babies, the less accurate the ability to detect how many there are. It's possible to see twins (or more) on a scan at around six weeks, though one baby may be missed at this early stage. Sometimes a heartbeat is seen in one sac, but not in the other. Rescanning in a week or two may reveal a second heartbeat, or the scan may show that one sac is growing and the other still empty.
