Outcome of pregnancies complicated by ruptured membranes after genetic amniocentesis
Article Abstract:
Babies born to women who have a premature membrane rupture after amniocentesis will have a good prognosis provided they are not born too prematurely. In a study of 11 such women, the pregnancy continued for several months after the membranes ruptured, and 91% of the babies survived.

Monoamniotic twins: improved perinatal survival with accurate prenatal diagnosis and antenatal fetal surveillance
Article Abstract:
Survival rates of monoamniotic twins may be significantly improved with early diagnosis, intense monitoring of the fetal heart rate, and judiciously timed cesarean delivery. Monoamniotic twins, sharing a single amniotic sac, are a rare occurrence. Thirteen monoamniotic twins diagnosed in early pregnancy were meticulously supervised. Eight sets of twins were delivered in response to an abnormal fetal heart rate. The survival rate of the closely monitored infants was 92%, compared to a 66% survival rate seen in historical accounts of 77 monoamniotic twins undiagnosed before birth.

Comprehensive fetal ultrasonographic growth measurements in triplet gestations
Article Abstract:
A group of doctors from the University of Connecticut Health Center has created tables and graphs of fetal growth measurements in triplet pregnancies. The data are based on 443 ultrasound scans of 33 triplet pregnancies between 16 and 35 weeks' gestation. Each woman had between 3 and 6 scans during this time period.
