Multiples clinic: a model for antenatal care

SummaryAntenatal care has become more focused in recent years with an increase in the number of specialist clinics providing care in a multidisciplinary manner. Multiple pregnancies are complex with complications for the mother and babies arising frequently. As a group they lend themselves well to a specialist clinic model where interested doctors and midwives can provide care tailored to the individual. This makes it less likely that complications will be missed and provides a consistent approach to care that patients desire. This article aims to describe models of care that can be given in such a clinic, acknowledging that one model will not fit all. The scant evidence that exists is presented along with selected examples of individual complications.
