Abstract

The management of delayed delivery in a triplet pregnancy is described. A 25-year-old woman with an in vitro fertilization pregnancy aborted the presenting fetus at 19th gestational week. As she decided to carry on, cervical cerclage, tocolysis and antimicrobial prophylaxis were performed. The remaining fetuses survived until 29th gestational week. Prolongation of multiple pregnancies after the abortion of presenting fetuses is a possible approach, which is especially justified in women with a history of infertility.
