Triplet Pregnancies involve three fetuses developing during the same pregnancy and carry increased risks of preterm birth, fetal growth restriction and maternal complications. Care typically requires specialist monitoring, ultrasound surveillance and individualised planning for delivery. Management depends on factors including chorionicity and fetal wellbeing. Independent expert witnesses can provide opinions on antenatal surveillance, referral decisions, counselling, delivery planning, clinical standards and causation in Clinical Negligence proceedings involving multiple pregnancies.
