ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the components of routine antepartum care for mothers of twins. Given the increasing numbers of twin births worldwide and the disproportionate contribution they make to perinatal morbidity and mortality, the quality of prenatal care for multiples becomes a matter of community-wide concern. Twin pregnancies are one of the most common high-risk conditions encountered by practicing obstetricians. Unfortunately, antepartum care for these challenging pregnancies is poorly studied and highly individualized, as in any other area of medicine lacking an intensive evidence-based foundation.
