Higher-order Multiples

Joanne Stone et al. Clin Obstet Gynecol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Higher-order multiple gestations have increased since the advent of advanced reproductive technologies. These pregnancies present unique risks to both mothers and fetuses. It is imperative that early diagnosis of chronicity be determined and that proper counseling is performed, so patients understand the risks, evaluation, and management needed.
