Abstract:
In practice, it is very common to associate monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies with complex or complicated pregnancies, using both terms interchangeably. However, these are not synonyms; dynamism is the protagonist in complex systems, but not in complicated ones. In order to understand a MC pregnancy as a complex system, it is necessary to first look into its main characteristics. The placenta is one of the main sources of problems. Then, the MC pregnancy has to be analyzed from the perspective of complexity, identifying the system characteristics and its complications as emergent properties.
