  3. Incidence • Increased with Assisted Reproduction • Clomiphene citrate / Letrozol/ HMG, hCG • Advanced Age • Race – Afro-carribeans • 1:80-100

  4. Risks in Multiple Pregnancy

  5. DC twins - lambda sign

  6. MC twins - T sign

  7. Chorionicity v/s Zygosity

  8. Techniques for invasive testing

  9. Loss rates: Amniocentesis in Twins

  10. Chorionic Villous Sampling in Twins

  11. Selective Fetocide / ER

  12. Management: Antenatal Maternal and Fetal Surveillance

  13. Ultrasound in Multiples • Diagnosis and Chorionicitydeterminaiton • Dating, Chromosomal & Structural Normality • Growth, Dopplers • Amniotic fluid assessment • Twin twin transfusion syndrome • Invasive procedures – amniocentesis, CVS • Cervical length and funnelling • Prediction of preterm labour • Timing of delivery – Dopplers, BPS in IUGR, etc

  14. Complications in Twins:Based on Chorionicity

  15. Delivery <34 wks 1.8% Iatrogenic 1/3rd Spontaneous 2/3rd Cervical cerclage or Progesterone • Previous affected pregnancy (15%) • Nulliparous / No previous PTD (85%) 25% reduction (4% of total) Early screening for Preterm delivery Prevalence of spontaneous early preterm birth

  16. Twin Twin Transfusion Syndrome Anastomoses in TTTS • Monochorionic twins • Donor twin is small, growth restriction • Recepient twin is big • Oligo / polyhydramnios • Big bladder, heart enlarged in recepient • Oliguria, donor • Abnormal Dopplers

  17. Prognosis - TTTS • Staging (Quintero) • Stage I • Recipient hydramnios • Donor bladder visible/present • Stage II • Recipient hydramnios • Donor bladder remains empty (“stuck twin”) • Stage III • Abnormal Doppler studies: • absent or reversed end-diastolic flow in Donor UA OR • abnormal venous Doppler pattern in Recipient UA (reverse flow in the ductus venosus or pulsatile umbilical venous flow) • Stage IV • Fetal hydrops means stage IV and the end • Stage V • Fetal death of one or both twins.

  18. Treatment of TTTS by selective laser ablation of A-V Anastamoses Laser ablation Stuck ‘donor twin’ wrapped in membrane Feely floating ‘recipient twin’ In hydramnios

  19. Electronic Fetal Heart Rate monitoring in labour

  20. Epidural Analgesia(painless labour)

  21. Timing and Mode of Delivery • Dichorionic twins – 38 weeks • Monochorionic twins – 36 wks • Vaginal delivery in uncomplicated DC or MC twins if cephalic, cephalic presentations • Precious pregnancy, abnormal presentations, complications like IUGR, preterm, maternal DM/HT usually delivered by LSCS • Increased risk of placenta praevia and APH, PPH

  22. Complications • Post-partum haemorrhage • Bimanual massage • Uterotonics • Prophylactic Misoprostol PR • Syntocinon infusion • B Lynch Suture • Uterine Artery Ligation • Uterine Artery Embolisation • Hysterectomy
