Twin pregnancies are rising during the past decades in Europe and the U.S. [1, 2] Currently 2-3% of all births are twin births [].At the same time the rate of cesarean section in twin pregnancies has increased globally [4, 5].A prospective randomized trial showed that vaginal delivery in uncomplicated twin pregnancies after 32 + 0 gestational weeks is possible and safe if the first twin is . Uncomplicated monochorionic twins, however, had less specific . Cheong-See F, Schuit E, Arroyo-Manzano D, et al. The Goldilocks number of 37 is associated with the fewest deaths before, during and after delivery for dichorionic twins based on 29,865 pregnancies. stillbirth (SB) than dichorionic twins (DT) and singletons [13-15]. expecting twins and their caregivers when making decisions regarding timing of birth," while noting that the results may apply only to dichorionic twins because the SEN analysis was limited by data linkage and only sex-discordant twins could be used. Citation, DOI & article data. In uncomplicated dichorionic twin pregnancies, delivery should be considered at 37 weeks' gestation to minimize perinatal death, and no clear evidence supports delivery of monochorionic twins. Timing of delivery becomes more challenging if one twin has intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), as this increases the risk of IUFD. ing for a twin birth rate of 32.6 per 1000 births.1 Most twin pregnancies (70% of naturally conceived twins) are dichor- . Background There are still some controversies regarding the risks and benefits of fetal reduction from twins to singletons. Objective The optimal timing of delivery for monochorionic (MC) twins is controversial. Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review Title: Twin Pregnancy Gestational Age 50%. In a Scottish study of uncomplicated twin pregnancies, delivery before 37 weeks of gestation was associated with excess risk for perinatal death and greater need for special education at school. nancy complications in dichorionic twin pregnancies. Methods All consecutive DC twin pregnancies and uncomplicated MC twin pregnancies with two live-born twins delivered at our centre were included in this retrospective cohort study. We aimed to evaluate if fetal reduction from twins to singleton improves pregnancy outcome.

Offer women with a twin or triplet pregnancy a first trimester ultrasound scan to estimate gestational age and determine chorionicityand amnionicity(ideally, these should all be performed at the same scan; see recommendations 1.1.3and 1.1.4). Monoamniotic twins are at increased risk of perinatal complications compared with monochorionic diamniotic or dichorionic twin pregnancies 3-5. Do twins need NICU at 37 weeks? It has long been recognized that the timing of delivering twins constitutes a significant issue [34]. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that, to minimize risk for perinatal death in uncomplicated dichorionic-diamniotic twin Dichorionic diamniotic (Di-Di) twins: 38 weeks; Monochorionic diamniotic (Mo-Di) twins: 34 to 37 weeks; They can be . ‡ Indicated deliveries refer to deliveries prompted by spontaneous labor, ruptured membranes, or maternal or fetal complications.

This type of pregnancy may have characteristic findings on ultrasound. At least 2 of these appointments should be with the specialist obstetrician. INTRODUCTION: Dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies are at increased risk of preeclampsia (PET), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of late stillbirth and intrapartum complications, such as fetal heart rate abnormalities and complications related to malpresentation or placentation. Obstet Gynecol. Monochorionic, diamniotic (MCDA) twins are the product of a single fertilized ovum (egg), resulting in genetically identical offspring. Discuss timing and type of delivery (date for induction or elective caesarean) including use of steroids if not already been discussed; One-third of MZ monozygotic twins have two separate placentas and sacs, similar to dizygotic twins (dichorionic). Our study compared outcomes of induction of labor (IOL) at 34 through 37 weeks to determine the most favorable gestational age for delivery in DCDA twin . In most studies, the cut-off value is 15%-25%, and it is reported that the risk of morbidity and mortality increases if discordance exceeds that value [ 8 - 10 ]. Time of delivery in dichorionic pregnancies The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) suggests that delivery be performed between 38 + 0 and 38 + 6 weeks in uncomplicated twin dichorionic pregnancies [ 7 ].
