The article presents epidemiological data, modern terminology, features of the course of gestation, as well as obstetric and perinatal outcomes of childbirth in women with multiple pregnancy. The relevance of study this problem is due to the fact that the course of multiple pregnancy in almost all patients is accompanied by various complications, and their prognosis and prevention are of paramount importance. Despite the attention paid to multiple pregnancy, the complication rate remains high. Their treatment should be carried out in III level of perinatal care facilities. Attention is focused on the features of childbirth of pregnant women in accordance with the procedure for providing medical care to women with multiple pregnancies. An important issue remains to determine the time and tactic of delivery in multiple pregnancy. The choice of childbirth method depends on the obstetric anamnesis, gestational age, position and presentation of fetuses, estimated weight and size of fetuses, chorionicity, fetal and maternal condition, and the presence/absence of indications for caesarean section also matters. The optimal delivery time for uncomplicated twins is 37 weeks of pregnancy (monochorionic diamniotic twins — 36–37 weeks, dichorionic — 37–38 weeks), since in this period of pregnancy, the risks of antenatal fetal death and early neonatal death are minimal. Delivery of women with monochorionic monoamniotic twins is performed at the full 32 weeks of pregnancy by caesarean section. Among other indications for caesarean section are triplets and a larger number of fetuses, as well as conjoined twins, transverse or breech presentation of the first fetus, twins in combination with a scar on the uterus, an unsuccessful attempt of external-internal rotation of the second fetus in a transverse position after the birth of the first fetus, and others. An analysis of domestic and foreign publications was carried out in the article, which indicates the need for in-depth research in this direction, namely the elucidation of new pathogenetic links in multiple pregnancies, depending on the type of placentation, the search for new ways of management and the development of diagnostic criteria for the childbirth of this contingent of women.
