To study maternal and fetal outcome in twin pregnancy among primigravida. METHODS : A Prospective observational study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Sri Venkateswara Medical College, Tirupati conducted over one year from October 2017 to September 2018. RESULTS : In one year, total of 11,242 deliveries were conducted and amongst them 48 were twin pregnancies in primigravida, giving an incidence of 4.26%. Incidence of twin pregnancy in primigravida is more common in the age group of 21-25 years (62.5 %). Preeclampsia was found to be the most common medical disorder (70.8%)., followed by anemia in 13 cases (27.1%). LSCS was the most common mode of delivery for 31 patients (64.6%), followed by vaginal delivery in 17 patients(35.4%). In majority of cases, indication for LSCS was 1st twin non cephalic presentation. Perinatal mortality rate of monchorionic pregnancy was 4.6% and dichorionic pregnancy was 3.48% CONCLUSION : Twin pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy with increased incidence of antenatal and intrapartum complications like anemia, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes milletus, polyhydramnios, premature rupture of membranes, antepartum haemorrhage, post-partum hemorrhage, preterm labour, cord prolapse and fetal complications like prematurity, low birth weight, IUGR, discordant growth, NICU admissions etc.
