All mothers who have gone through more than one pregnancy are clear: each pregnancy is different and it is not something that is simply said. And they all have their good and bad points. This is also the opinion of the Canarian model Ariadne Artiles, who is going to be the mother of twins. On his Instagram account, he has published some sincere words about the changes he is noticing regarding the pregnancy of his first daughter, Ari, who will turn three on December 31.
She talks about how hard it is to have to rest or the cravings she did not have with her eldest daughter, but also about the beautiful feeling of “feeling them at all hours”, concluding with a reflection with which many other mothers identify: ” Pregnancy is the most beautiful reason to find yourself fatal. “
“This pregnancy is being a roller coaster”
“Without a doubt, no pregnancy is the same as another, just as Ari’s pregnancy was all fireworks, this #pregnant twin is being a roller coaster.”
They are the real words with which the model begins her last post about her twin pregnancy. He assures that the worst thing is “having to start to rest so soon” , one of the possible consequences of multiple pregnancies, which can be risky.

But as Ariadne herself assures, it also has its positive side: “the best thing without a doubt is to feel them at all hours, if it is not one, it is another but there they are all day fighting”. And it is that in the second pregnancy the movements of the baby are noticed earlier.
And is that this pregnancy “is giving another side of the pregnancy that did not know.” And it is not the only one. Some famous friends who have already gone through this experience, wanted to share their experiences with her and send her all their love. This is the case of Jaydy Michel, Paloma Cuevas or Cari Lapique.
But also comments from other mothers not so famous, but who identify with what the model is experiencing, such as “Being a mother of twins is being from another galaxy” or “It happened to me that with the first one it was great, but with my Mellis everything was a little ‘ordeal’: dizziness, nausea, all day on the couch or in bed, not wanting anything … but it’s true that feeling them move inside made up for everything! .
Cravings are different too
On November 17, the Canarian model also announced her new pregnancy on social networks with words that touched our hearts:
“No state is as similar to madness, on the one hand, and to the divine, on the other, as being pregnant. I feel in a sea of emotions, fears and uncertain thoughts that many of you will understand. No pregnancy is the same as the other and that makes us live it as a new adventure, once again into the unknown. “
And time seems to be giving him the reason, because Ariadne, who is about to start a large family with José MarÃa GarcÃa Fraile, son of the sports journalist José MarÃa GarcÃa, also jokes about cravings, those intense desires to eat or drink something without Know why, and what you are having in your second pregnancy:
“I never thought that the cravings were the fruit of nature but rather a pampering of the pregnant woman, since with Ari I had none. Instead, these two little women one day they crave chorizo from Teror and another a white zucchini “.
She clarifies that she is not dieting, neither pregnant nor not , and that the word “diet” makes her hair stand on end. She assures that she listens to her body at mealtime, because “now they are in charge and I am here to serve them.” He explains in great detail that he is having “daily cravings like chorizo de Teror and tenderloin, which he had never had before.”

The peculiarities of a twin pregnancy
Not all multiple pregnancies are considered risky : it will depend on the mother’s medical history and the conditions in which the pregnancy occurs. Even so, there are differences such as more frequent medical check-ups at the beginning of the third trimester, due to a higher risk of preterm birth, but even earlier if the babies share the placenta (such as monochorionic or monoamniotic twins), where they should have more check-ups. frequent from the second trimester.
And is that a multiple pregnancy is associated with a greater risk of experiencing certain complications, which may involve rest as in the case of Ariadne Artiles, without this meaning that they will happen far from it. Between them:
-
Premature delivery The average length of a twin pregnancy is 36 weeks, but approximately 30% of multiple births occur before week 37.
-
Low birth weight In twin pregnancies, more than half of babies have low birth weight.
-
Delayed intrauterine growth. In the case of twins, it is more likely that there are alterations in terms of the nutrients that they obtain from the placenta, so an imbalance may occur that causes the growth of one of the babies (or both) is restricted in a way that its size is not in accordance with the weeks of gestation.
-
Preeclampsia, anemia or postpartum hemorrhage, as well as other complications during delivery, such as problems with the umbilical cord or the placenta.
In addition, not all multiple pregnancies are the same but, depending on the number of fertilized eggs and the moment in which the zygote division occurs, there are different types of twins and they are not the same twins as twins, although historically both have been used. indistinctly to refer to children born from the same birth (with the difference that “twin” was more typical of popular speech and “twin” of the cultured).
As Ariadne has commented, she will be the mother of twins; that is, identical or very similar siblings, of the same sex , because they come from the same ovum and the same sperm that fertilized it.
On the other hand, twins are siblings with a lesser resemblance , because they have been gestated from a different egg and a different sperm, with which they can be of the same sex or not.
