In a multiple pregnancy, the shape of the uterus is different from a singleton pregnancy. Here’s what you need to know:
– In a singleton pregnancy, the uterus is typically pear-shaped or oval.
– In a multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, etc.), the uterus expands more than usual and becomes more spherical or globular in shape.
– This is because the uterus needs to accommodate multiple fetuses, placentas, and amniotic sacs, which requires more space.
– As the pregnancy advances, the uterus may become more irregularly shaped, depending on the position of the fetuses and placentas.
