Multiple pregnancy, multiple needs

C Mariano et al. Can Nurse. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

Every year, more than 4,000 sets of twins and 80 sets of triplets are born in Canada. And those numbers are growing: Canadian women are two-and-a-half times more likely to have triplets, quadruplets or quintuplets today than 20 years ago, mainly due to increasing maternal age and the use of fertility drugs and reproductive technologies.
