Physically Active

Background: No specific physical activity guidelines are available for women in multiple pregnancy. Aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and experience of women regarding physical activity during their latest twin pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional study including women after a twin delivery was conducted in Poland. A questionnaire was distributed in 2018 via web pages and Facebook groups designed for pregnant women. Results: 652 women filled out the questionnaire completely. Only 25% of women performed any physical exercises during twin gestation. The frequency of preterm delivery was similar in physically active and non-active participants. 35% of the respondents claimed to have gained information on proper activity from obstetricians during antenatal counselling while 11% claimed to be unable to identify the reliable sources of information. 7% of women admitted to feel discriminated by social opinion on exercising during a twin pregnancy. Conclusions: The population of women with a twin gestation is not sufficiently physically active and is often discouraged from performing exercises during gestation. Therefore, it is crucial to inform obstetricians to recommend active lifestyle during a twin gestation and to provide reliable information on physical activity to pregnant women. Further research on this topic is necessary in order for obstetric providers to counsel women on appropriate exercise with a twin pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: In recent times, the incidence of multiple pregnancies has significantly increased dueto medication for induced ovulation and other reproductive technologies. The present study is designedto see the maternal complication of multiple gestations in pregnancy.OBJECTIVE: To determine the maternal complications associated with multiple gestation in secondand third trimester of pregnancy.METHODOLOGY: This descriptive study was carried out in the department of obstetrics andGynaecology unit at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. Duration of the study was 06 months from 1stJanuary 2012 to 1st July 2012. All patients with twin gestations, triplets and high order multiples visitingobstetrics and Gynaecology unit at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar and who were admitted in wardwere included in the study and after taking informed consent their characteristics were recorded byfilling proforma.RESULTS: Sixty patients with multiple gestations were included in the study. Fifty four (90%) of themhad twin pregnancy and 06 (10%) had triplet pregnancy. The antenatal complications detected in thesepatients were preterm labour 23(32.3%), anaemia 18(30%), pregnancy induced hypertension, preeclamptic toxaemia, eclampsia 13(21.7%), Malpresentation 13(21.7%), Antepartum Haemorrhage 5(8.3%), 5 patients (8.3%) had PROM, 4 (6.7%) had polyhydramnios, 3(5%) had miscarriages, 5 (8.3%)had postpartum haemorrhage, 44(73.3%) patients had spontaneous vaginal delivery and 15(25%)underwent caesarean section. In 28(46.7%) patients cephalic/cephalic was the most commonpresentation.CONCLUSION: Multiple gestation is a high risk pregnancy and is associated with both maternal andfetal complications. Patient needs to be educated about the importance and advantages of early antenatalbooking and regular antenatal follow-up to reduce the risks to the mother and the babies.KEY WORDS: Twin pregnancy, Triplets, High-order multiplets; Complications-Second Trimester,Third trimester.
