| | Abstract | A total of 123 twin pregnancies were studied, 68 by records analysis only, and 55 by serial haematological assessment in detail. The incidence of low haemoglobin levels is found to be greater than in singleton pregnancy; evidence of iron and folic acid deficiency is common in sternal marrow aspirates but not in peripheral blood films. Routine haematinic prophylaxis in twin pregnancy is not advocated. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
