INTRODUCTION
Multiple pregnancies are associated with fetomaternal
morbidity and mortality due to accompanying complications1
. Twin pregnancy makeup the vast majority
(97-98%) of multiple gestation2
. Multiple pregnancies
rates vary worldwide. The lowest prevalence for twin
birth is reported in Japan (6.7 per 1000), with intermediate
prevalence reported in North America and Europe
(11 per 1000) and the higher prevalence reported
in Africa particularly Nigeria (40 per 1000 deliveries)3-6.
Incidence from one study is 1/57. In a study from Allied
Hospital Faisalabad anemia was the most common
prenatal complication 48% followed by preterm labour
44%, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) 24% ,premature
rupture of membranes(PROM) is 16%7
.
Twin pregnancy is associated with more maternal
and fetal complications as compared to singleton pregnancy.
The objective of the study was to determine the
frequency of common maternal complications in third
trimester of twin pregnancy and to have an insight
into the local trends of complications associated with
twin pregnancy. This may help health professionals to
improve the antenatal care of the patients with twin
pregnancy and to detect and manage complications
promptly so to improve maternal and fetal outcome.
