This book provides a comprehensive update on the management of multiple pregnancy, which is becoming more common, and is associated with increased maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Offering a practical guide and a wealth of videos, images and illustrations, the book will help clinicians to feel more confident when caring for women with multiple pregnancy. 

Its main objectives are:

  • To increase the level of knowledge of healthcare professionals involved in the care of these women;
  • To update their knowledge in keeping with the recommendations of the latest national and international guidelines; and
  • To promote a multidisciplinary approach to the management of women with multiple pregnancy.
