RE: Hyperovulation and the genetics of twins

in StemSocial4 years ago (edited)

15 minutes between twins? Oh I thought this would be faster. Interesting! And I can imagine the stress of the second twin not being delivered!

And let's avoid even discussing the 11months stuff of the post!!

Sort:  

You're right...it was a long time. Too long. Today there would be imaging to show the position of the twins (or that there were in fact twins!). A C-section would have been performed when the second twin was seen to be in a compromised position. Back then, panicked doctors frantically used forceps to reposition the baby and facilitate delivery. This resulted in great harm.
Can't say enough about proper prenatal care.
