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.
In multiple pregnancies, the uterus typically takes on an ovoid or globular shape. As it accommodates more than one fetus, the uterus expands more than in a single pregnancy, resulting in this distinct shape.
