Management of dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies

Twin pregnancies comprise 1.5% of all deliveries in the UK. The primary objective of this review is to provide the reader with an overview of national guidelines and, where applicable, recent advances with regards to the care of women with dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) pregnancies. Prenatal screening in dichorionic twins is discussed, including the role of cell free fetal DNA testing, and common fetal and maternal complications are explored. In addition to the reading list below, we would encourage the reader to keep up to date with reports from the confidential enquiry into maternal and child death [Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries across the UK (MBRRACE-UK)] for specific learning of adverse outcomes in this high risk group.
