[Multiple pregnancies]

Abstract

Twin and multiple pregnancies carry an increased risk compared to singleton pregnancies and a challenge in obstetrical management. Multiple births are a worldwide issue, especially due to the increased incidence in several countries in the last few years. Prenatal care and obstetrical management call for specific solutions due to specific risks in such pregnancies. The present papers try to give both an overview and to offer a deeper insight into selected problems of obstetrical care for multiple pregnancies.
