Unlabelled:
Triplet gestation appears in 0.1-0.3% of all pregnancies and it is high risk pregnancy for mother and foetus. It appears more frequently in Afroamerican women, rarely in Japan women. In multifetal pregnancy early prenatal diagnosis and management are very important.
Aim:
Analysing course of pregnancy, way of delivery, condition of newborns, influence of environmental factors, and concomitant diseases in triplets gestation.
Material:
30 women treated between 1989-1998, in Division of Perinatology, University of Medical Sciences in Poznań, Poland.
Results:
21 pregnancies were ended by caesarean section, 9 by vaginal delivery. Apgar score for II and III foetus decreases significantly. pH value of umbilical artery was without significant differences.
Conclusions:
Almost all triplets have ended preterm. Route of delivery of triplets have to be considered individually. Environment factors could play an important role in multifetal pregnancy.
