Suggest Risk With Twin Pregnancy

I'm pregnant with twins. I'm about 4 months. I'm really worried that something is wrong. I know what the growing pains feel like. But every once and a while i'll have a really bad pain and I get worried about it right away. What are the risks with a twin pregnancy?

Risks of twin pregnancy in mothers- Increased risk of anemia, high BP, diabetes, bleeding, pain, chance of C-Section and breast feeding problems. Mother may also feel that minor problems may turn more complicated- like increased leg swelling, vomiting, breathing discomfort etc.

For baby- there is risk of pregnancy loss, abnormal growth, abnormalities in structures (anomaly), problems related to cords, prematurity, low birth weight etc.
