Twin pregnancies have increased in recent years as assisted reproductive technologies have been adapted. The maternal age of women undergoing assisted reproduction is generally higher than that of women with spontaneous pregnancies. This also implies a higher risk of fetal aneuploidies. Furthermore, twin pregnancies are known to have a higher risk of developing complications such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth retardation, and preterm labor [for a review, see Ref. (1)].

Of note is that women who have been trying for years to become pregnant and have finally undergone cumbersome ...
