Labor and Delivery of Twin Pregnancies.

Obstetricians who care for twin pregnancies should be aware of the challenges that may arise during the labor and delivery. With recognition of these issues and proper training, providers should be able to help women with twin pregnancies achieve a safe delivery for them and their babies. With the use of breech extraction of the second twin and active management of the second stage of labor, women with twin pregnancies can also achieve a high vaginal delivery rate of both twins.
