Patient's question:
During the 12-week NT scan for single, one baby was 12 weeks and 6 days, and the other was 11 weeks and 5 days. The head-arm diameter difference was 25%, suggesting selective growth restriction. What should be done? Is there any method to control it?Doctor's answer:
According to your information, you are 12 weeks pregnant with twins. The detailed NT ultrasound examination revealed a difference in the head-to-tail length of the two fetuses. Due to the early stage of twin pregnancy, this situation can easily recur. It is recommended that you undergo regular prenatal examinations. From week 15 to week 22, consider undergoing a non-invasive DNA test to screen for congenital diseases. You can maintain a varied diet, enhance nutrition during pregnancy, strictly avoid spicy foods, and engage in appropriate activities.
