The effect of chorionicity on maternal and neonatal outcomes in triplet pregnancies

Triplet gestation is challenging for both the mother and the physician. The human uterus is designed to support singleton gestations, however, in recent years with the introduction of assisted reproductive technologies we observe increasing numbers of multiple gestations. Triplet pregnancies are associated with increased maternal, fetal and neonatal complications compared to singleton and twin gestation, including a higher risk of gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, cesarean delivery [1], fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and perinatal/neonatal death [2,3].
