title: Twin gestation: antepartum management.
abstract: Early diagnosis of twin gestation is a critical factor in the reduction of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Measures to prevent preterm labor and preterm delivery and frequent fetal surveillance to identify IUGR are the cornerstones of antepartal management. Patient compliance is facilitated through health education and active involvement in the antepartal care.
