Multiple Pregnancies Sample Clauses

Multiple Pregnancies. Replacement of more than one embryo increases the chance of pregnancy while also increasing the chance of multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc.). Although it is the goal for a fertility treatment cycle to result in a single baby, the chance of a multiple pregnancy resulting from an in vitro fertilization cycle may be as high as twenty percent to forty percent (20% - 40%) depending upon the age of the biological mother and the quality and number of the embryos transferred to the uterus. The majority of multiple pregnancies are twin pregnancies although the possibility of high-order multiple gestation (triplets, quadruplets, etc.) increases as the number of embryos transferred to the uterus increases. A discussion and agreement regarding the number of embryos to be transferred to the Gestational Carrier’s uterus will take place between REACH, the Parents and the Gestational Carrier at the time when the embryos are ready for transfer. A procedure known as fetal reduction of pregnancy has been proposed for some women whose pregnancies involve three or more fetuses. More information on this controversial procedure is available on an individual basis. Multiple pregnancies carry higher than normal risks for the gestational carrier for hypertension and other disorders. These pregnancies may lead to emotional strain for the family. Deaths of babies around the time of delivery and the number of babies born with long-term handicaps are several times more common in multiple births than in single births. Multiples are commonly born before they are fully mature. The following disorders are responsible for increased illness and death in multiple gestation infants: infection of the membranes sometimes due to premature rupture of the membranes; twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome; placental infarcts (portions of the placenta lose their blood supply); and premature separation of the placenta and compression of the umbilical cord. Also, higher numbers of birth defects occur in multiple gestation pregnancies for reasons not fully understood.
