Abstract
- An epidemiological study of all primigravid twin pregnancies delivered in Aberdeen between 1950 and 1969 was performed to determine the pattern of arterial blood pressure changes. There is a greater fall from non-pregnant levels in diastolic blood pressure by mid pregnancy and a greater rise of diastolic pressure by delivery. These changes are independent of age, body size and rate of weight gain during pregnancy. The expected increased incidence of proteinuric pre-eclampsia is also independent of rate of weight gain when defined for twin pregnancies.
