Twin pregnancies may weaken bones more than singles, new study suggests
NCT ID NCT07508553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at bone density in 100 pregnant women (ages 30-45) with either one baby or twins during the third trimester. Researchers use a special ultrasound-like scan and questionnaires to check bone health and fracture risk. The goal is to see if carrying twins leads to greater bone loss than carrying a single baby.
