Abstract
Twin pregnancy is characterized by a significant, selective, and gradual thinning of the LUS during gestation, which does not occur in the anterior and fundal myometrium. Thinning of the LUS occurs earlier in twin pregnancies destined to deliver preterm. These observations suggest that similar to the cervix, the LUS changes dynamically during twin pregnancy and that this too may be assessed through ultrasound imaging.
