Problem of multiple pregnancy is one of the most relevant in obstetrics nowadays,being not only a medical, but also a socially significant problem. The problem of pregnancy management is of scientific and practical interest, it is caused by an increase in the number of multiple pregnancies. The current trend towards all cases of multiple pregnancies is explained by the activity of assisted reproductive technologies, the ever-increasing age of women in labor. This article discusses the features of the gestation period in multiple pregnancies, characteristic complications, as well as the features of the condition of the fetus and newborn in this condition. Multiple pregnancy is a model of fetoplacental insufficiency, which is explained by the fact that evolutionarily a woman's body is adapted to bear one fetus. According to research data, the course of multiple pregnancies is more often associated with the presence of various complications than the course of a singleton pregnancy. One of the most serious complications of multiple pregnancy is fetal-fetal transfusion syndrome. The occurrence of this complication requires the use of special tactics of pregnancy management, continuous monitoring of the condition of the mother and fetus, readiness to make emergency correct decisions about prolonging pregnancy or delivery, readiness to provide highly specialized assistance to the fetus and subsequent newborns. Clinical management of pregnancy, treatment and prognosis depend on the extent of development of feto-fetal transfusion syndrome, gestation, on which has developed the syndrome, presence or absence of the mother's genital or extragenital pathology, as well as the fetus. The main methods of treatment of feto-fetal transfusion syndrome are methods of fetal surgery, the most effective of which is the method of fetoscopic coagulation of placental anastomoses.
