NHS could save 100 stillborn babies with better treatment of women pregnant with twins and triplets Poor care for women pregnant with twins and triplets is resulting in 100 stillbirths a year, research suggests.
NHS hospitals' failure to follow official guidelines on multiple births is also responsible for 630 unnecessary C-sections and 1,300 infant admissions to intensive care each year, experts found.
Their research project, funded by the Department of Health, focused on ensuring 30 British maternity units followed official guidelines to the letter over a year. Experts found this vastly improved outcomes for twins, triplets and their mothers. The Daily Mail
