Comparing infants of similar gestational age, twins weighed less, but had a mortality equivalent to that of singletons after 29 weeks. Between weeks' gestation, the risk of mortality for twins versus singletons was 1. Preterm twins did not have significantly more respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, or other short-term morbidity than did preterm singletons.
However, when gestational age was controlled, the rate of major handicaps was not higher in twins than in singletons. If you have one baby in the hospital and one at home, you will need to think about splitting your time between the two.
When you visit your baby in hospital, ask if you can bring their twin and if co-bedding is allowed during visits. If you want to breastfeed and only one twin can feed effectively, you may need to express milk to feed the twin who is having trouble feeding.
You may then need to put the twin who can feed on the breast to encourage milk production in order to get enough milk to feed both babies. Check if your hospital offers support from a community neonatal nurse, which would allow for you and your babies to leave hospital earlier, for example if your baby is still tube-fed.
When you go to clinics for follow-up appointments, it's a good idea to ask not to be booked into early morning appointments. Getting out of the house with two babies, particularly if one is unwell, can be difficult. For more information and support, visit Twins Research Australia.

Birth rates for MZ twins are consistent among all races about 4 per ; but the incidence of DZ twinning varies among races 8 per , among Caucasians, 16 per among people of African descent, and 4 per among Asians. A genetic predisposition or inherited characteristic for DZ twinning exists in some families, but the consistency of MZ twinning among all populations suggests that identical twinning is a random occurrence that is not influenced by genes.
