الاختلاطات التوليدية في الحمل التوامي (خبرة مشفى الاسد الجامعي باللاذقية)

Our study dealt with the obstetrical complications in twin pregnancies at Al-Assad University Hospital from 1/1/2004 to 1/6/2006; it included /105/ cases with twin pregnancies and /105/ cases with single pregnancies. after monitoring labor in both groups and specifying the complications concerned, the results were as follows: 1- An increase in premature birth (54.4%), malpresentation (43.8%), post partum haemollhage (13.1%), cord prolepses (10.5%), and atonic contraction (7.6%) compared with single pregnancies. 2- An increase in caesarian sections in twin pregnancies (46.7%) compared with single pregnancies. 3- An increase in malpresentation, cord prolepses, and placenta abruption in the second fetus compared to the first. The rate of maternal complications increased during labor for twin pregnancies, and that made us take extra care when observing and delivering.
