number of placental in a pregnancy
chorionicity
number of amnions that surround a fetus
amnionicity
t/f: all multiple pregnancies are high risk
T!
least high risk corionicity/amnionicity
dichorionic/diamnionic
most high risk chorionicity/amnionicity
monochorionic/monoamnionic
the fewer the sacs, the higher risk it is
management of multiple pregnancy

eval of fetal growth
common complication of multiples pregnancy
restriction of growth
timing of delivery depends on
