Term Labour

Preterm labour and its consequences are the major contributors to perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The prevention of preterm labour and delivery is the single most important challenge to modern obstetrics today. Progress in this area has been hampered by lack of understanding of the basic mechanisms responsible for preterm labour. The implicit paradigm which has governed the study of parturition, is that term and preterm labour are fundamentally the same processes except for the gestational age at which they occur. Indeed, they share a common terminal pathway composed of uterine contractility, cervical dilatation and rupture of membranes. We proposed that while term labour is the result of physiological activation of this common terminal pathway, preterm labour and delivery is the consequence of pathological activation.1Thus, preterm labour may be considered as the response of the fetomaternal unit to a variety of insults (e.g. chorioamnionitis, ischaemia, fetal growth restriction, etc.) (Fig 1) If these insults cannot be effectively handled in the context of a continuing pregnancy, then labour and delivery may occur.

Delayed Interval Delivery

This article describes a clinical case of vaginal delivery in nulliparous women 24 years old delayed interval delivery of the second and third fetuses in spontaneous multiple pregnancy dichorionic triamniotic triplet in a tertiary perinatal center. After preterm delivery in 27+5 weeks of gestation the first fetus to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality of two fetuses that are left in the uterus, with informed consent of the woman preterm delivery the second and third fetuses occurred at intervals of 38 days, in 33+1 weeks of gestation. Careful monitoring of the state of the mother and fetuses was conducted. To increase the interval between the birth of the first fetus and the second and the third fetuses, prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications used tocolysis, antibiotics, progesterone, the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn by corticosteroids and bed rest. Three girls were born alive with a weight of 980, 1800 and 1950 grams correspondingly. Childbirth complicated second degree perineal laceration and retained portions of placenta and membranes, puerperal period was uneventful. After 1.5 months, all infants discharged with her mother in a satisfactory condition with a weight of more than 3000 grams. Key words: multiple pregnancy, triplet pregnancy, delayed interval delivery in triplet pregnancy, preterm delivery.
