Paediatric preparation for multiple premature births.
We describe the managment of 2 sets of pre-term quadruplets born to 2 women pregnant concurrently following the induction of ovulation with gonadotrophin. Careful antenatal planning was necessary to provide for each of the 8 pre-term infants a standard of neonatal medical and nursing care comparable to that normally available for singleton pre-term infants.
