Twins and more - Multiple Pregnancy

Delivery
Because many twins deliver early, and because it is not considered safe to allow a multiple pregnancy to labour if there has been previous uterine surgery, e.g. Caesarean section, the section rate for twins is higher than for singletons. If the delivery is vaginal, the experience of the operator is essential in ensuring that not only the first, but also the second twin is delivered safely.
