In a series of 114 twin pregnancies followed in the course of 12 years (1961-1972) we noted the favourable effect of specialised preventive care. More exact diagnostics (ultrasound scanner) shifted the recovery of twins from the 35th to the 30th week of pregnancy. Due to the therapeutic and preventive bed rest and to the systematic use of orciprenalin, the duration of pregnancy has been prolonged from 36 to 38.5 weeks on the average. The perinatal mortality in twin deliveries decreased from 14.4 to 5%.
