Abstract
To study the incidence of maternal complications during antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum period in twin pregnancies. METHODOLOGY: A total of 117 women with twin pregnancy were analyzed between the period of September 2005 to February 2007. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria these women were analyzed with respect to maternal complications like anemia, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, hydramnios, ante partum hemorrhage, postpartum hemorrhage etc. which may occur during pregnancy or during labour. OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS: In the present study there was increased incidence of anemia (45.3%), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (17.9%), antepartum hemorrhage (2.6%), hydramnios (8.5%), preterm labour (97.9%) and PPH (6.8%). CONCLUSION: In this study it is observed that above mentioned complications double up in the event of a twin pregnancy compared to singleton pregnancy available data. Early diagnosis of twin pregnancy, regular antenatal visits, identification of complications and planned delivery will help in decreasing maternal morbidity and mortality.
