1
Q

Defn SGA

< 10%ile (can be symmetric or asymmetric)

> 90%ile

> 4500 g

4
Q

Defn LBW

< 2500 g

5
Q

2 types of SGA

IUGR = maternal systemic disease that causes decreased placental perfusion

low groth potential = congenital abnorlaities, teratogens, cigarettes

6
Q

chorion seperates day 4

amnion seperates day 8

30
Q
When does cleavage happen to result in 
Di di twins?
Mono-di-
Mono-Mono
Siamese twins?

Siamese/conjoined twins day 13-15

31
Q

mono vs di zygotic twins

dizygotic twins have increased prevelance in

A

africans, IVF, clomiphene citrate

33
Q

What are complications of multiple gestations

A

PTL, placental previa, postpartum hemorrhage, preE, cord prolapse, malpresentation, GDM, incompetent cervix

34
Q
Management for.... 
Siamese/conjoined twins 
mono-mono- twins
vertex/vertex twins
vertex, non-vertex twins
non-vertex/non-vertex twins
triplets and above
A
Siamese/conjoined twins  = C/S
mono-mono- twins = C/S
vertex/vertex twins = vaginal
vertex, non-vertex twins = vag or C/S
non-vertex/non-vertex twins = C/S
triplets and above = C/S +/- selective reduction
35
Q

What is TTTS? what kind of twins are at risk for this?

A

unequal bloodflow in shared placenta of mono-di- twins thar results in one small/anemia twin and one large/polycythemic twin

36
Q

What is the management of TTTS

A

serial US q2wks in all mono-di twins –> tx with serial amnioreduction in larger twin
