Q

Surveillance for monochorionic twins

A

Fetal echocardiogram indicated due to increased risk of congenital heart defects
Growth ultrasonography and fluid assessment should be performed every 4 weeks, and antenatal testing should commence at 32 weeks
Screening for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is initiated at 16 weeks then every 2 weeks thereafter

Q

diagnostic cervical CA procedures to do in preg

A

DO NOT doe endocervical curettage

DO:
Pap
Colpo
colpo with bx
