Summary

This study aims to compare how well two different types of fetal growth charts work in tracking the growth of twins during pregnancy. These charts help doctors decide if a fetus is growing normally. One type is commonly used for all pregnancies, while the other is specially designed for twin pregnancies. The study will enroll pregnant individuals carrying twins. Participants will be randomly assigned to have their care guided by either the traditional chart or the twin-specific chart. Researchers will compare outcomes such as birth weight, timing of delivery, and newborn health. The goal is to find out if using twin-specific charts can improve care and reduce unnecessary interventions.

Conditions

  • Twin Pregnancy

Interventions

OTHER

Twin-Specific Growth Chart Interpretation

Participants in this arm will have their fetal growth assessed using twin-specific growth charts. These charts account for twin gestation norms and may influence clinical decision-making regarding growth restriction and perinatal management. The intervention does not involve any direct physical procedure or device but rather a change in the interpretation framework of routinely collected ultrasound data.

OTHER

Singleton-Based Growth Chart Interpretation

Participants in this arm will have their fetal growth assessed using singleton-based growth charts. These charts are commonly used in standard practice but may overestimate growth restriction in twin pregnancies. The intervention does not involve any direct physical procedure or device but alters the interpretation framework for standard prenatal ultrasound findings.
