“…Moreover, according to Kubler-Ross, as the impact of diagnosis is assimilated by recipients, health-care staff should anticipate a range of grief responses as they begin to express their emotions ( 25 ). Acknowledging and even encouraging the expression of sadness is invaluable ( 16 ).

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 mothers from two pediatric hospitals in Iran.Results:Five major categories emerged from the data analysis, including dumping information, shock and upset, emotional work, burden of delivering bad news to the family members, and a room for multidisciplinary approach.Conclusions:Effective communication of healthcare team with mothers is required during breaking bad news. Using multidisciplinary approaches to prevent harmful reactions and providing appropriate support are recommended.

Multiple-fetus gestations have an increased risk of discordant anomalies, aneuploidy and growth restriction compared to singleton pregnancies. In addition, twins sharing the same placenta are at risk for developing specific conditions that are potentially amenable to surgical management. In those scenarios, patients might need to be evaluated not only with US but with fetal MRI as well. This paper outlines basic guidelines to consider when imaging complicated multiple-fetus gestations during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
