Recording Multiple Births
To record that a patient has given birth to more than one baby, add an end of pregnancy item for each baby born, appropriate to their outcome with each baby's details on a separate item. Each outcome should have the same pregnancy number.
For example, a woman has a confirmed pregnancy and is carrying twins. One miscarries at 11/40, the other pregnancy is carried to term and is a normal vaginal delivery. Make a note of the miscarriage, then when she delivers, add in two separate end of pregnancy items: Miscarriage and Delivery;normal vag;liveborn.
