The obstetric complications include preterm labor, anemia, pregnancy induced hypertension, postpartum hemorrhage, prematurity and low birth weight. are more associated with twin pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients with twin pregnancy coming to labour room during one year were included and same no. of controls were taken to carry out the prospective observational case control study. RESULTS: In our study, there were 21.1% cases of preeclampsia,3.5% cases of antepartum eclampsia, 40% cases of preterm labour, 32.9% cases of cesarean section, 17.6% cases of PROM, 85.8% cases of anemia, 1.1% PPH, 1.1% APH and 1.1% GDM. 47(55.2%) babies in case group were premature while only 25(29.4%) babies in control group were premature. CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that twin pregnancy is associated with increased risks of preterm delivery, preeclampsia, anemia and cesarean section delivery. Prematurity is the main cause for higher incidence of neonatal morbidity.
