TOL is a good option for women with twin pregnancy at term, regardless of chorionicity. Active management of labor for the second twin is important, also in DC births. Maternal outcomes were more favorable with TOL and although low Apgar scores and low umbilical blood pH may be more frequent after TOL - especially with the second twin - serious neonatal morbidity is rare and does not differ from that after planned CS.
