Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from BMJ 2016;354:i4353) Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of stillbirth. Uncomplicated twin pregnancies are commonly delivered earlier to prevent stillbirth; however, there is a risk of neonatal complications associated with being born prior to 39 weeks' gestation.
