PARENTS expecting twins and triplets are missing out on vital information to protect their babies’ health, an expert warned today.
Keith Reed, chief executive of the Twins and Multiple Births Association (Tamba), said parents were not getting specific education on multiple pregnancies – putting pregnant women and their children at risk.
He said: “The number of multiple birth pregnancies has increased dramatically in the last three decades.”
Mr Reed has written to Health Secretary Andy Burnham and his predecessor Alan Johnson but has yet to receive a reply.
