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.
