Neonatal outcomes of twin pregnancies with the first twin in cephalic position may differ depending on GA and planned mode of delivery. From 32-37 weeks a planned VD seems favorable, while from around 37 weeks on, a CD might be safer. The absolute risks at term are low and must be weighed against the increased maternal risks associated with planned CD.
