We have established population chorionicity-specific birth-weight reference charts for DCDA and MCDA twin pregnancies, corresponding to the range expected were all pregnancies to deliver at any given gestational age. In this population of twins, the median birth weight was consistently lower than that reported for singletons, and there was variation in the median birth weight at different gestational ages according to chorionicity. © 2021 The Authors.
