Zusammenfassung:OBJECTIVE: To compare pregnancy outcome in twin pregnancies with and without hydramnios.

We compared pregnancy outcomes for twin gestations with hydramnios ( n =201) to twin gestations that had normal amniotic fluid volume ( n =13,111). RESULTS: Obstetrical and perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies were adversely affected by the presence of hydramnios. Delivery was shifted to earlier gestations in women with hydramnios (32.8 vs 35.1 weeks, p
