Most pregnancies are the product of a single fertilized ovum and result in a single fetus. One to two percent of pregnancies, however, result in multiple fetuses, multigestational pregnancy. Such pregnancies present unique challenges for both prenatal management and delivery. Although uncommon, multigestational pregnancy occurs with sufficient frequency that primary care providers should be familiar with basic management considerations.

Such pregnancies present unique challenges for both prenatal management and delivery. Although uncommon, multigestational pregnancy occurs with sufficient frequency that primary care providers should be familiar with basic management considerations.
