Abstract
A survey of triplet pregnancies in Linköping, Sweden, 1973-1981, showed a low perinatal mortality (4%) and low morbidity possibly due to prophylactic bed rest and tocolytic treatment. All children were followed at child health clinics. In one child, a persistent growth retardation was recorded at 4 years of age. No psychomotor deviations were found in the group. An interview concerning social and economic factors after delivery was carried out. The answers revealed considerable strain in daily life for all families.Keywords
