Abstract
A specific prenatal care program is proposed to prevent preterm deliveries in twin pregnancies, with ultrasound scanning, early work leave and home visits by midwifes. A four-year study has been conducted on 197 pregnancies (160 early followed and booked and 37 late referred). It can be shown that early preterm births and very low birth weights are less frequent in the followed group than in published data, as well as in the late referred pregnancies. The total perinatal mortality rate is 25.6 per 1000 total births.Keywords
