Epidemiology
INFERTILITY THERAPY
1980s onwards - increase in number of deliveries:
Increasing incidence of twins and higher-order pregnancies
![Page 3: RAUL M. QUILLAMOR, MD FPOGS, FPSMFM, FPSUOG UERM College of Medicine MULTIFETAL PREGNANCY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649eb15503460f94bb71fb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Increasing incidence of multiple births: A public health concern
Higher rate of preterm delivery
Compromised chances of neonatal survival
Increased risk of lifelong disability
Increased vulnerability to malformations and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome
Increased incidence of maternal complications:
PreeclampsiaPostpartum
hemorrhageMaternal deaths

Superfetation vs Superfecundation
Superfetation SuperfecundationA long interval
intervenes between fertilizations
Requires ovulation & fertilization during the course of an established pregnancy
Unproven to occur in humans
Fertilization of 2 ova within the same menstrual cycle but not at the same coitus, nor necessarily by sperm from the same male
![Page 5: RAUL M. QUILLAMOR, MD FPOGS, FPSMFM, FPSUOG UERM College of Medicine MULTIFETAL PREGNANCY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649eb15503460f94bb71fb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Etiology
FraternalFertilization of
two (or more) separate ova
- Double-ovum
- dizygotic

2. Fusion-
fertilized egg splits completely but stem cells find like-stem cells on the other twin & fuse the twins together

Principles of Management
3. Avoidance of fetal trauma during labor and delivery
4. Availability of expert neonatal care
1. Prevention of preterm delivery
2. Identification and prompt delivery of growth restricted fetuses
![Page 46: RAUL M. QUILLAMOR, MD FPOGS, FPSMFM, FPSUOG UERM College of Medicine MULTIFETAL PREGNANCY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649eb15503460f94bb71fb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Management
DIET ANTEPARTUM SURVEILLANCE
Additional 300 kcal/day on top of 300 kcal/day required for uncomplicated pregnancy
Weight gain of at least 50 lbs
60 – 100 mg/day of iron 1 mg/day of folic acid
Non-stress test Biophysical profile Monitoring of fetal growth
parameters Doppler velocimetry

Management
PREVENTION of PRETERM DELIVERY
Bed rest, limited physical activity, early work leave?
Tocolytic therapy?Corticosteroids for pulmonary maturation?Prophylactic cervical cerclage ?

Management
LABOR
Presence of skilled obstetrician & pediatrician, appropriately trained attendant, & experienced anesthesiologist
Availability of ultrasound machine & blood transfusion products
Establishment of intravenous infusion system
![Page 49: RAUL M. QUILLAMOR, MD FPOGS, FPSMFM, FPSUOG UERM College of Medicine MULTIFETAL PREGNANCY](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649eb15503460f94bb71fb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Management
DELIVERY : Vaginal or Abdominal?
Problems encountered when presenting twin is breech:
- Aftercoming head is large for the passageway (big baby)
- Delivery of extremities & trunk through an inadequately dilated cervix (small baby, small head)
- Risk of umbilical cord prolapse
