Cigarette smoking and weight gain control are relatively modifiable factors for which interventional management is necessary to avoid perinatal problems arising from SGA pregnancy. Further studies are needed to investigate optimal nutrition, health guidance and subsequent weight gain control that lead to concrete improvement in maternal and infant prognoses.

Background. We present here 2 cases of acute twin-twin transfusion occurred during vaginal labor in monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies. Case. Fetal heart rate tracings showed tachycardia in the donor twin in the first case, while they showed reassuring patterns in both twins in the second case. Conclusion. These differences in changes of fetal heart rate in the donor twins following acute twin-twin transfusion may be resulted from the differences in amount of transfusion and elapsed time.
