Description:
A sample of amniotic fluid will be drawn from the amniotic sac of Twin A and Twin B. Each amniotic sac will be aspirated by the obstetrician and sent to the laboratory for determination of fetal lung maturity index and lamellar body count. Fetal lung maturity index and lamellar body count will be correlated to see if there is an association between Twin A and Twin B.
Fetal Lung Maturity index and lamellar body count will be calculated and compared based on fetal weight, sex, zigosity, and birth order. Demographic information, maternal obstetrical and medical history, newborn/fetal data, indications for cesarean section and twin A and B outcomes will be obtained through OB Traceview or patient chart.
