Multiple pregnancy does not forgive errors in dating and chorionicity. You will learn to accurately determine the type of multiple pregnancy from the first trimester, monitor fetal growth and detect specific complications in time (TTTS, selective growth restriction).

You will manage such pregnancies calmly and systematically — and your conclusions will become a reliable basis for the obstetrician.
