AI Article Synopsis

  • A case report details a triplet pregnancy where triplet A was delivered prematurely at 20 weeks.
  • The delivery of triplets B and C was successfully delayed for 49 days using cervical cerclage and tocolysis.
  • This is the first instance documented of vaginal delivery for two living infants after the vaginal delivery of a third infant in a triplet pregnancy.

Article Abstract

A case report is presented in which a triplet pregnancy ended in an immature delivery of triplet A at 20 weeks gestation, followed by a successful delay in delivery of 49 days of triplets B and C by means of a cervical cerclage and tocolysis. This is the first reported case in which two living infants could be vaginally delivered after a preceding vaginal delivery of the third infant in a triplet pregnancy.

In late gestation, the increased energy demand to support the rapid fetal growth can induce an acute negative energy balance associated with a high risk of pregnancy toxemia, especially for prolific ewes (carrying two or more fetuses). The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary energy during the last 6 weeks prepartum on the energy metabolism dynamic responses and the newborn lamb metabolic profile in prolific ewes. Forty-five crossbred (Dorset × Romanov) ewes were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 dietary energy densities: E: 8.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the perinatal outcomes of triplet pregnancies reduced from triplets to twins with fetal reduction (FR), followed expectantly without FR, and reduced to triplets from higher-order multiple pregnancies (HOMP) with FR.

Materials And Methods: Multifetal pregnancies followed at the university hospital in the last 8 years were evaluated retrospectively. The study group was composed of three groups.
