Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about multiple pregnancy:

1. How will you determine how many babies I am carrying?
   
   
2. How much weight will I likely gain with this pregnancy?
   
   
3. What nutritional changes do I need to make for multiple pregnancy?
   
   
4. How often will I need to be seen for prenatal care?
   
   
5. What tests or procedures will I need during my pregnancy?
   
   
6. How can you determine if my babies are developing normally?
   
   
7. What are the signs that I may have an emergency with my pregnancy?
   
   
8. What is the likelihood that I will develop gestational diabetes or preeclampsia?
   
   
9. What steps can I take to prevent premature labor?
   
   
10. How will you determine if I need a C-section?
    
    
11. What are the chances of me having another multiple pregnancy?
    
    
12. Are my daughters at higher risk for multiple pregnancy because I had one?
