“…Based on previous findings, [1][2][3]9,11,15,16 we expected that a larger fraction of women with triplet pregnancies develop PIATD, gestational thrombocytopenia, and perinatal liver dysfunction. This retrospective study was conducted to examine the following two hypotheses: (i) the majority of women with triplet pregnancies show gradual decreases in AT activity and platelet count during pregnancy; and (ii) women with reduced AT activity and/or platelet count are likely to have perinatal liver dysfunction and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) elevation.…”

“…68 In other studies, HELLP syndrome occurred in 3.0% of twin pregnancies 62 and in 9.0-10.5% of triplet pregnancies. 69,70 Although twin pregnancies accounted for only 1.0-2.0% of all pregnancies, they accounted for 10.3-15.5% of all women with HELLP syndrome. 15,71 The platelet count was likely to decrease during pregnancy with increasing number of fetuses.…”

“…26,27 Higher rates of cesarean delivery, 28 postpartum hemorrhage, endometritis, urinary infection, and diastisis recti are also documented. 26,27 Participants in the field observations stated that it is vital for postpartum and neonatal caregivers to be cognizant of how difficult it is for a woman to make the transition from an HOM pregnancy to the expectation that she will initiate lactogenesis and breastfeeding, pump, care for her infants, recover from pregnancy and delivery, and attend to her personal needs. The observed mothers and others 24,29 indicated how they felt during the early postpartum period: overwhelmed, unwell, sore and in pain, too weak to pick up the infants or make frequent visits to the nurseries, and "teetering on the edge" of exhaustion.…”
